The first run since my injury where I had no knee troubles.

Ran the shortened South Farms loop, and was able to finish with no problems. After the run I was watching to see if my lower/inner knee would give way as I was walking on my cool down, but even that problem is beginning to disappear. 

I am so so so happy today. First time since January that I feel like a runner. I was not sure if this day would ever come, so I am thankful for my good fortune to be in good health again, at least for today!

Tonight while I am watching the Lakers/Houston game I will foam roll both of my legs. 

I skipped my normal 1000 calorie breakfast this morning in an effort to begin losing weight. If it feels easy to run 6.5 miles now, I can't wait until I lose 10 pounds...
