Dad was right!

Day 22 & 23-- I am making great progress (as I am patting myself on the back), and am feeling great too! Over the last couple of days I found I can actually climb stairs and steps without using the hand rail, which is awesome because those things are disgusting, especially with the H1N1. I am doing my running and trying to incorporate the inhale/exhale exercises too. Normally I would run about 6m a day along with many various exercises. Well, today I decided I was going to run for 3m every hour(I only made it for 5h), but like I said in previous posts about the family drama and finding my zone, I did it today. My dad was right on how good you feel when this happens. I was so angry today that a tear made its way down my cheek. I thought that there was NO WAY that I was going to let that happen. I tightened the laces on my shoes and got those feet moving. I ended up running 1.57 miles in 10m. Yes you read that right, exactly 5 weeks after knee surgery I ran 1.57 miles in 10 minutes!!! That was definitely a triumph. It felt so good that I forgot why I was angry in the first place.

I think I am going to keep up with the pace requirements!!!
