It was another good walk this morning and warmer than it has been.  I actually had to take my sweat shirt off.  4 days until I get to run!!!!!!!!! 

Knee feels good!!  The true test is thursday.  I will start counting hours soon.  (or not).

Walking with my daughter.  Itching to run, BAD!!!  Pushing her in the jogging stroller, I just want to start running, and that is hard.  Soon, I can run though.  

We took my brothers dog and had a good brisk walk.  My knee is feeling very good.  No discomfort.  I am very pleased with that!!

Good walk with my mom this morning and again, pushing my daughter in the jogging stroller.  I think I will give my knee an extra day or two and wait until saturday to run.  Not sure, but I will run this week and that makes me happy!!  Hopefully everything will be fine.

Walking again.  I want to run so bad!!  Walking today, I am nervous about running, it's not that my knee hurt, it just doesn't seem right.  That is not good.  I have been quite moody since I haven't ran and I want to eat everything.  I HATE IT!!!!

Anyway, BLAH, and I will walk again tomorrow and then decide if I am going to run on saturday or not.  The doc said 2 weeks, it has been 2 weeks.  I think I hold off much longer I will explode.  (Not good, again!!!)

I walked  the first 2 miles, with my daughter in the jogging stroller.  I felt pretty good, so I ran.  My daughter kept saying "Yeah, mommy, see you can run again."  It was very encouraging.  I went about 3/4 mile and my knee felt awkward.   No pain, but I quit.  I don't want to hurt it again, so I will ease back in to running.  That is hard for me, but at least for now I can say I have run again, and know I will again.  I just want to be smart about it.  That is something very new to me, so we will see how that goes.
