I am in good spirits today. My run was so much better than Tuesdays and my knee held up very well with my new Patella band I was wearing even though I ran with a few hills today! I am going to continue the running every other day from now until my triathlon as I think it will help and I will not loose any of my endurance that I have worked so hard to build up. In terms of my speed, I held my pace pretty well today and was surprised at how light I felt. Maybe it is the fact that I have lost more weight or the fact that I am more rested, either way, it was one of my best runs in a VERY long time! Go little knee go!!
I wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for your comments and emails. I would imagine it would become old hearing about all my trials and tribulations with my injuries and yet each and every day I am overwhelmed at your encouragement and support for this journey that I am working towards. Thank you!
