One mile...

I was able to run one mile today while I was doing my physical therapy. It didn't hurt at all for most of it, and my knee only tightened up a little at the end. The best part is that I was not in pain afterward. Progress is good, but it has been slow.

I am really excited that I may be able to run a little more. Maybe I will be back in running shape soon! I have been fairly depressed about the whole thing, so this is a really good day for me. I have not been able to run since February 9th, so today was a real victory. YAY!

Still not running... Maybe tomorrow???

My knee is still messed up. MRI says no issues a few weeks ago, and I have been to physical therapy three times. I go to my last physical therapy session tomorrow, but I still can't run on it. I get to try to run tomorrow, so we shall see how it goes. The therapist figured out that I had a muscle imbalance, which caused the initial problem. I got a brace to enable me to run while I was retraining the weaker muscle, but I made the brace too tight and it hurt my iliotibial band trying to run (the muscle on the outside of our leg) and that injury has been healing for three weeks. I am afraid to try to run on it and find out that it is still messed up. I hope it gets better soon so I can still run the Indianapolis half marathon in May. Keeping my fingers crossed...

Absolute horror story!

CUSTARD'S LAST STAND IS CLOSING IT'S DOORS TOMORROW. LIFE IS JUST NOT FAIR.

Perhaps I am being a little over the top, but Custard's last stand was one of our favorite places in the world, like Greek's Pizzeria in Valparaiso. We went there often and we really enjoyed it. We even made jokes about the fact that if we ever moved away from Kansas City, we would have to come back to visit our friends and buy an entire case of Custard. We are very sad and we will definitely go there tomorrow to get our last round of Custard. So long Custard, we really enjoyed you and we will miss you.
