3 mile run outside. 12:41, 11:56, 11:53.  It was REALLY hard :(  It's hard, I remember how long it took to get where I was and it's very hard to not get discouraged by being back at the beginning again.  I can do this and it's worth the effort!

30 min stationary bike.  45 min treadmill.  I vacuumed today and it is still not a good idea :(  On the bright side, the carpet looks wAy better when I vacuum verses when the kids do it.  I'm just going to have to suffer through the pain once a week to save my poor carpets life :)

I went in to see Brady today.  More back exercises.  I am noticing an improvement in my back each week.  My neck is still a baby and so is my back, but I do feel stronger.  The improvement is so gradual that it's frustrating, but things are slowly improving.  I am starting to believe the docs.. I will recover :) ....probably ;)

ran 3.  left knee hurt first mile.  Sucked wind the next two miles.  at the start of mile 4 the right knee gave out entirely with pain. I tried running a few times after walking a ways, but the pain returned. By the time I got home, the knee was bothered by walking.  I have a dr appt today.  I pretty much want to quit.  I have had it.  On the brighter side, my back is really doing much better over all.  I feel like it is finally really healing :)  I am so mad right now I could spit nails, but since I hate the taste of nails, I'm just going to settle for crying.

** Dr update-  Brady said that the knees are not serious and will be fine :)  He beat them up and then did acupuncture with some homeopathic drugs.  He says I can run on Fri or sat and that next week I can add one more day.  He popped my "drama" balloon :)  I am glad.  I go back next week.  Oh, the diagnosis for the right knee, weak hammies.   He gave me some torture-esque exercises to do with the yoga ball to strengthen the hamstrings.  I guess all of this time off made my hammies wimps.  Diagnosis for the left knee... since the pain is exactly where the bruise was from the accident, it is probably just some latent injury that is chiming in as my miles go up.  He thinks he's got it covered.  We shall see.  I need more faith and patience.

45 minutes on the treadmill.  1 mile running.  I get to add a 3rd day of running in each week :)  It has to be on the treadmill.  I am really hoping that the bod can handle it!  I need to get back to running more days a week.  2 days is annoying :p

30 min stationary bike.  PT back exercises and hammie torture things.
