It has been over a month since I ran on a regular basis and I can't stand it any longer.  The doc said no running and no soccer until I have surgery and I have complied (until yesterday).  The swelling in my knee has been fairly non-existent since, but so has any form of exercise.  Due to my new job and my husbands wishes I am going to try and hold off on having ACL revision surgery until next summer (ughh).  So, I have decided I am going to try and start a very conservative running regime.  I figure if I keep my mileage low, stay off the hills, run flat paved runs (or on the treadmill) I can continue to run without aggravating my knee.  Hopefully, this will work. Otherwise I think I will go crazy.  I am addicted to running.

3.1 miles- AP 8:42.

I hate to hear about battles with the injury bug, especially an addict. Good luck with your limited, conservative running regime. Also, I have a weak spot for anybody who ignores their doctor, so props for that.

Nice to see you back and with a good plan. I think it sounds pretty smart! I hope it works well for you, and with the new access to JRP it should go quite well!
