Ok, it may not seem that impressive, but it's 2 minutes less than the last time I attempted it. AND I ran all but about 10 minutes of it - 5 minutes walking for the warm up and a song and a half that I walked through (though not in a row). AND it was with an incline of 1 as opposed to 0. I feel accomplished!!

Of course my right knee has now decided to cramp when I go down stairs. What fun. I can sit with it bent, I can walk on it on level ground - no pain. Literally no pain unless and until I go down stairs. Then I go down stairs and, crampy. So I'm resting it well tonight (I iced it...may use the heating pad later on) and will rest it tomorrow as much as I can. MAYBE do some yoga, but I'll see how things are feeling. The last thing I want to do is take myself out of commission just when I'm getting into things better. AND have two races coming up - the WTC Run To Remember on 9/5 and the Komen Race for the Cure on 9/12.

So overall, it's a yay...but with some caution.
