running successes

Well, I just returned from my third run this week! That's quite a milestone for me, given that, prior to this week, I hadn't really run for almost 3 months. And--most importantly--my knees feel fine. I've been running with a brace, but I'm not even sure that is necessary. I'll just keep doing squats to strengthen my other leg muscles and keep walking to keep my legs used to exercise. While I don't want to overstate my accomplishment (I probably only totaled about 9 1/2 miles all week), it's definitely a step in the right direction. I'll try to build up slowly--maybe 5 miles at a distance by the end of next week.

At least one day next week is set aside for running up on the mountains! It's been a long time for me and I'm really excited about it!
