Walking in beautiful weather.  The thermometer said 60 when I left but it sure felt like more than that.  I loved it.  Tomorrow I will try some lunges.

Walking again today but with 250 lunges.  The lase time I tried to do lunges my knee hurt so bad I couldnt do more than 5.  There was no knee pain or discomfort or anything!!  Yeah!!  

Tomorrow I will try running and hope I feel good.  

Not looking to good for the Hurricane 1/2, but I can always switch to the 5k.  There will be other runs and I havent given up completely yet.

Running today.  I felt GREAT!!  Yeah.  I ran in my new Nimbus and new orthotics.  I have been wearing the orthotics to walk the last 3 or 4 walks and decided to try them running.

No knee pain whatsoever and felt strong which was great after not running for a week. 

My legs are a bit sore after yesterdays lunges but didnt feel them while I was running.

Walking today with Anna in the stroller.  It had been a minute since she went with me so that was fun.  Also 250 lunges.  No knee pain.  Legs still a bit sore but feeling better.  The true test will be how my knee feels after running tomorrow.  Hope for the best.

Running today.  I wanted to go farther but I slept in.  I felt good and strong.  No knee pain.  We will see what happens next week, but feeling good again.

Walking today with 250 lunges.  Nothing else to write about today.  Very uneventful.
