Still Alive :o)

Still alive- still running- feeling great!

I joined a running group on base that was starting off with the C25k plan. Even though I had already been running, I figured it would help. We just finished Week 6 which included a 20min run without walking. I did 25min :) I fell in love with running again that day. I had a serious mental barrier and finally pushed past it.

My tendinitis is all but gone and feeling MUCH MUCH MUCH better. It was the shoes causing it, I think. I love new shoes. My knee has been more sore, but not enough to slow me down.

I had a 2nd MRI on my knee. It showed a meniscus tear, but not in the place I am having pain. Plan is to do an injection in January and if that doesn't work, arthroscopic surgery in March to see if they can find anything. However, I feel like I am finally starting to catch back up to where I was pre-op and I am not so sure I will go ahead with another surgery at this point.

I am just thrilled that I feel like I am becoming a runner again. I will be doing a 5k by Christmas and then I may start training for a 10K!

Keep up the good work. I know that "I fell in love with running again" feeling - I finally got it last week after I had one of those runs since rehabbing for my ankle.

Do you guys celebrate Thanksgiving in Guam? Either way, happy Thanksgiving.
