I made it! I've completed weeks 1-3! I took 3 weeks off with my bursitis. I wondered if the pain would ever go away, but it did, finally. With a bit of fear & trepidation, I headed off on week 1 again. Mare it through all 3 weeks without knee pain. I've had a couple of twinges, but haven't been too concerned. Week 3 was the most eventful - on the second day, I ran in -6F weather in the snow! I used Yak Trax & they were amazing. Then, on day three, it was the day after Thanksgiving & I ran! I was out of town at my sister's house & I did it anyway. My husband ran with me which was pretty fun.
My thoughts at this point mostly concern the fact that it's hard work & I am really out of breath, etc when I do the 3 minute runs & I can't imagine that one day I will be able to run for 30 minutes at a time. In a matter of weeks! Hmmm. I am excited it for it, but it's also hard to imagine it happening.
I'm excited to carry on next week - no doubt in the snow unless we have a big thaw. Praying for continued strength in my knees & increased endurance.
