Ran today in Bellevue. I head out and did not my flat boreing run so went the other way. Probably was not a good decision. It was incredibly hilly, 12% grades. I felt okay, the knee hung in there but, it was a very difficult run. I am amazed at how much I have lost over the last 2 weeks. The downhill was okay, just really slow. A big thank you to the 7-11 that let me use their bathroom. It was one of the cleanest public bathrooms I have ever been in. Overall felt pretty good, I just cannot really get going or push off on my right leg.

| Went out with Paula tonight. Again it was a very painful 1.5 mile warm up and then I was good to go, except that I have forgotten how to run with out a limp. Even with the knee not hurting, I am still limping. I tried several times to correct my form but really struggled. I made it to 5.4 and then my IT band started to hurt a little. I immediatly stopped and walked for a minute then tried again. Still hurting so we walked home. I dropped Paula off and had .1 to get back to my house and I decided to run it. It almost feels better if I try to run faster than it does going slow, but I still have a limpy form. Overall a good day and we will go at night again tomorrow because I have a 6:00 am meeting in Ogden tomorrow. Hopefully today's run is a step in the right direction. Ave Pace: 9:38

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK: CAN CAUSE SEVERE DEPRESSION or A STRONG DESIRE TO TELL THE WHINEY GIRL TO QUIT BLOGGING No run today. My knee is very sore and needing a break. After last nights run I stretched and sat in an ice bath for 15 min, I am in worse shape today than I have been the entire time. I am trying to do everything recommended but still no luck. I am going to try to get out tomorrow. I also have an appointment with a sports med doctor next week, due to the pressure from my hubby and co-workers. In other bad news, my massage girl is moving. I was planning on going back this week and called and no appointments left and Friday is her last day. Very, Very Sad. Short of a miracle tomorrow, I am also not going to run the Spectrum 10K. This is probably the biggest disapointment because it is my favorite race. I still have not signed up for the Salt Lake half. I am giving myself another week or two but if no significant improvement I will not be running that either. I keep telling myself it is more than racing and I would still run even if there was never another race. I also felt pangs of sadness, almost tears, when I saw so many runners out in our absolutely gorgeous weather today, knowing I could barely walk, let alone join them. Happy Running! Update: Took a nice long hot bath and stretched and massaged my legs. When I got out my knee felt so much better. Finished stretching and rolling my legs with the stick. Added on with some ab work and wimpy push ups. Threw out my Diet Coke. I decided it was time. I have a stash I need to get rid of, but I decided enough is enough. I am done! (Hold me to it!)

| New Concept: Stop running before more pain sets in. I had decided that it would probably be a good idea to stop running while I was still feeling good instead of running until I was in pain. So for the next little while I am limiting my miles. Three it is. The first mile is all warm up and trying to feel good. The last 2 felt pretty good. I was wearing a patella band and it did not eliminate the twinges but my form was much better, very little limping. So a windy, slow, low mileage day for me. Ave Pace: 9:53 Happy Running!

| Today was pretty darn great! It wasn't overly cold and my knee felt pretty good. Normally the first mile is pretty painful and the pain is a sharp pain. But not today. Today there was very little pain and when there was pain, it was dull and achy. I felt really good today. I felt it start to tighten a little as we were finishing up, so I know that three miles is it for right now, but 3 sharp pain free miles. Ave Pace: 9:33 Happy Running! | | Comments(6) |

| Yuck! Body and knee did not feel good today. I did not feel better after a mile so I walked home. BAD ATTITUDE! | | Comments(4) |
