A New Beginning

After not running for four days, I went to see an Orthopedic Surgeon today. He examined my knee, looked at the MRI and said that the 80% tear in my quadriceps did not occur last Tuesday. It had been there for some time. He said that the sharp pain I felt last Tuesday was probably due to an awkward step and the hitting of two bones together. He said that I could run as much as I wanted. So, I ran 2.8 miles on the streets this evening - with no pain. The beginnings of a new streak.

Yay! You're back. Glad to hear the news about your knee. Bummer that you missed those four days though. Hope you enjoyed the rest.

I'm glad you're back too, but please be careful! The mother in me thinks you should re-think your February plans though.

On another note, the 1/2 marathon Saturday was awesome! The crowd was fun and friendly, the weather was beautiful, I love the course, the only bad thing was that it had to end. Also, the baked potato and lunch with you and your wife was a treat too! Thanks for joining us and for the recommendation. Donna
