This was a bad week. After last Saturday’s “work out,” my knee acted up and forced me to take a couple days off. I’ve been icing the knee after every run and It’s gotten better these past few days, but it’s still a nuisance.
Looking at the bright side, it is significantly better now than it was a few months ago. It used to be, for every step forward, I would take about three steps backward. At least now I think I’m making progress- maybe 3 steps forward and 1 step back. What I really want to do is to take 10,000 steps forward and 0 steps backward. Wouldn’t that be nice.
