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.

Walking again.  My knee feels awkward still, not painfull, just weird.  I will probably try another couple of miles tomorrow, depending on what it feels like after work today.  I am very frustrated, I just want to run and not worry.  I know I can't and that is hard for me and getting harder every day.

Walked the first and last 1/2 mile again.  Ran a very slow mile in the middle.  Knee again, not painful, just not right. 

I will most likely run again on friday, at least a mile, hopefully more.  We will see.

No discomfort since I got home, just a bit while running, especially on the downhill.

I walked the first and last 1/2 mile again, so obviously I ran 2.  Anna (my daughter) went with me in the jogging stroller again.  My knee felt much better today.  Even on the hills I felt better.  That is encouraging and makes me happy.

2 mile walk with Anna and my mom, pushing Anna in the stroller.  Weather was beautiful maybe a bit windy, but it felt good to be outside.
