Did you think I gave up on my running goal. Well I almost thought that myself. The reason for the hiatus has been my awful knee pain.
I was hoping it would go away but it wasn't that easy. I was afraid that I would mess it up more if I kept running. We went to Bear Lake and I was so excited to run but my knee was still giving my problems. I was having to take a 800 milligrams of ibuprofen to get the pain to go away.
Bear lake gave my knee some great relaxation because after coming home my knee felt so much better.
Tonight I went on a walk that was about 1.5 miles. I have decided that I'm going to start slow with walking until I get a little lighter. I think this is why my knee started hurting. The children went walking with me tonight, the rode their bike and scooter. It helped with them going to sleep early tonight.
I hope to do more walking this week. I need to start preparing 3 weeks I run my first 5k.
