Update on my training: I have been working on strengthening my legs and I have been doing some outdoor running when it’s nice out. I got a knee brace but my knee still hurts when I run over a mile.
Today’s solution: I have decided to purchase an IT band strap (after hearing many good things about it). My training today will be the first time trying it out, so I hope it works. This is seriously my last chance.

(Sorry this blog hasn’t been the most exciting thing ever… when I set out to do this blog, I hadn’t anticipated all of this injury business. I think this whole debacle is more than just an injury… it’s dealing with an unexpected challenge. I already knew learning to run was going to be difficult, but I never planned on adding an injury to the mix, so this has really been an interesting journey for a whole different reason.)
In the next couple weeks, I’m going to require a lot of encouragement, so drop me a line and wish me luck! Pray that I don’t injure myself and that I can accomplish my first goal of many in this insane pursuit. Thanks!!
I hope that band is your problem solver! Wow, the big day is getting so close. I think you're smart for wanting to take it easy. Focus on that knee and feel better soon!! All in good time my dear :) Love ya!!
