It's driving me crazy -- er. I still can't run and this is NOT good. I know I just have to rest my knee, but I'm already kind of mental and when I can't run, I just cross over to some awful, dark place. This is my MEDICINE! I'm going insane, I swear. I need to buy a rowing machine. Does anyone else use a rowing machine? I need to completely fatigue my entire body. ARG!!!!!!!

I have a total gym. I use it in the winter. What about ashtanga yoga? Or do you need the impact? Lots of love on you.

OH BLISS! I decided to screw the pain and I went on a run this morning. 4.7 miles, so not too bad. AND, my knee didn't hurt! Maybe I kept it slow and so forth, but it felt soooooooooo good. I'm kind of normal right now because of it. I have not tried ashtanga yoga. Is it like yoga aerobics? I do elliptical sometimes and that hels a little. I don't know if it's the impact or not, but nothing is like running. Somehow, I thought rowing might be. Don't know.

Way to go clutter! I'm jealous. I ran on the grass today...didn't have much grass on the route to get on, but what was there helped!

Yipee! Another 4 without pain. I felt pretty good for a while today too. Then I said something stupid and judgmental to someone and now I feel like a jerk, but at least I did get that run in and I can maybe feel like I won't have to give it up... which is really a scary thought. I'm sorry you're having a hard time, hotpink. You might could try cutting the running back for now and doing some strength training along with some light jogging? Maybe your legs are just protesting because you're demanding more of the muscle than it can presently give. It's just a guess, really. Could you do some squats maybe and some calf raises? Just bolster the strength a little? Idk.

So far there is no Snow on the roads where I live so I have done 2 races. One at the end of December to end the year.That was my last 5k of 2015 and I opened January with a 5k.I am trying to keep my weight off. I lost over 90 pounds doing weight watchers.Now I am a Lifetime Member. I also do my stretching exercises everyday for class. That also is helping my running.
