Tap it twice!

A quick post...

I ran.

Ok a little more. I ran this morning and only had slight discomfort early on as I ran it got better. I normally would have had pain all afternoon so I think my knee is definitely getting better Im hopeful that it continues to get better. I so miss the running these short 2 mile runs Im doing just tease me and make me wish I was back to 4 and 5+ miles.

lol I just tapped my space bar twice to end the last sentence with a period.

Have a great weekend Folks

New Shoes!


I got me some new runners on Sat. I'm glad I'm back to Asics. Why I strayed ill never know. I like the shoes and Ive run in them one time. I want to let my knee rest a little before I start back in hard. I did run Sunday for about a mile and I will say tha tI ran hard I did a 4 repetitions of 30 sec bursts at a 6:15 pace. Trying to stress my knee a little bit. I know that during the run I had no pain and after I had nothing. I'm not sure if its Physical therapy or if its the shoes but something is working. I plan to continue Physical therapy until I can run like I used to. Back in Feb I was up to 4.5 miles without trouble. I really want to get to that again and I have this urge to go further. Im Know if my knee could take it that I could run 10k no problem and Im pretty certain that I could do ok at 15k and I know for a fact that I could finish a half marathon No doubt in my mind at all.

So assuming the shoes and the therapy kick in and fix me, I have big plans. I think my fitness goal eyes maybe bigger then my fitness level... LOL I guess that's what makes some people great athletes. Always pushing for that next level that's just out of reach

Physical Therapy and My Knee

2 weeks of therapy. I might be seeing some improvement. But Im going out to buy a new pair of shoes today. I'm beginning to think maybe that might be part of the problem. If its the shoes it will be the most expensive pair of shoes ever. Ill be so mad. I hope its not and to be honest I don't think shoes are the sole reason. Besides I know my knee is weak and Im sure the physical therapy is helping with that.
