New Milestone

"Top results are reached only through pain. But eventually you like this pain. You'll find the more difficulties you have on the way, the more you enjoy your success."
-Juha Vaatainen

I ran 1. 5 miles at 80% body weight in 16 minutes and 30 something seconds-without any knee pain! A little plantar fasciitis but no knee pain! It's great! Both knees are doing a whole lot better. Yay!

Again, plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the band of tissue that runs from the heel along the arch of the foot. To relieve the pain I have to rub the arch to break up the scar tissue and continue with my exercises twice a day.

My next physical therapy session is next Tuesday and I hope I'll be able to run 1.5 to 1.75 miles. I can't wait!
