Once again - Knee news

Many of you have asked for a status report so here it is. I have started to get back to normal training but slow and easy and not too many hills for now. Today I did a 6 mile run without any issues so that is good news. We have some long workouts this weekend so it will be a good test for me.

Both coach Alex (also a physical therapist) and teammate Dr. Scott Bergman (a chiropractor) have told me that my hamstrings, quads, and IT band are tight so I have additional stretching to do. Dr. Scott also adjusted my tibia (ouch). I'm optomistic about how things are going and I will just have to pay attention to any warning signs and listen when (as my cousin Lynn puts it) "my knees are talking".

Thank you for all the well wishes and positive energy!
