Total Distance
2.50

Took Cooper on a walk around the block (.7), then met Lisa and Anya for 2.5 miles of running at Lisa's house.  My knee was done by then so they went on, SO SICK OF THIS.  I'm going to keep doing my own thing until Thanksgiving, then if its not improving I'll try the doctor again.  I found a few new exercises and I think I need to fully stop running for a little while.  So frustrating.

Sorry you're still hurting. I was really hoping the stick might help :(

Yeah do what your body tells you. We'll miss you but gotta do what is best for you. I hope your knee feels better soon!
