Total Distance
3.00

I am so stoked!!!   I ran the middle 2 miles this morning, walking the first and last 1/2 mile!!!  So far, me knee feels pretty good.  No pain, I can walk fine and I am way excited about running.  That  makes me laugh that I am so excited about 2 miles, but it had been a month since running last and that was one of the longest months of my life!!

Happy to have ran again,  hopefully I can work back up.  I felt like I was making some good progress before the injury.

It will come back quick. Just don't jump back with too much, too quickly....

Thank you. I couldn't jump to quick even if I wanted to with the way the knee feels.
