starting again... again... again... and this time I mean it.
I did it, finally after 11.5 months I laced up the shoes and got back out the door. Don't know why but I just had a huge running craving this morning. Did a quick little loop on the trails near my house, took about 20 minutes or so. Amazed at how good I felt. All the cycle commuting and the 300+ stairs per day at work really seemed to help. Great stuff. Hope my knees hold together this time.

When your legs get tired, run with your heart.
Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of your chance to be extraordinary.

Good job Michael! Should we reserve a spot for you on next year's Cabot Trail Relay team?

Congrats! All of those stairs should help with your knees, I'd think. I'm a lazy elevator taker at my office.

Re: starting again... again... again... and this time I mean it.
And the next day my knee told me that wasn't a very good idea, so back to just walking for now. Good thing is my NEW doctor has booked me into both an MRI and a scope to see what the actual problem is in there, since my OLD doctor just kept telling me "Rest and Painkillers, oh and do you need more painkillers, how about some painkillers" It's been since 2008 and the CTRR (ran on injured knee) and it's finally getting taken care of. Not to much longer now.... *sigh* I just want to be able to run again.
