Still Plugging Along

Well, physical therapy on my knee is going okay. They are nice and have me strengthen my hamstring and calf muscles to take the pressure off of the knee but I am not seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I can run for about 1-2 miles and then the pain starts. First on the cap and then if I keep going up the IT band on my thigh. Ugh.

I really cannot imagine ever running without injury again but we'll see. On a better note I am still putting in at least sixty minutes of cardio every day. I am losing about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds a week now I think. I am around 175 or so. I am also trying to build my weak muscles.

Thursday I get that cyst removed so Friday/Saturday/Sunday exercise and beyond looks iffy. I will do what I can though. The battle continues...
