Ran with cadets again. Easy mile warm-up and then paced them during track workout followed by an easy mile cool down. Ont he track I ran 6x 400s in about 1:25 each and 1x800 in 2:50. Still have knee pain but I ran without the brace today and the knee pain seemed a bit less than normal. So no miracle healing yet but I am still not counting it out yet as the surgery is not until July 10th so there is still time for a miracle. Also did about 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups. I am getting in pretty good shape upper body wise at least.

Ted, how have you been feeling? Good to see you getting a little bit in.

You can start running on your arms then!

Doing ok. Just not really wanting to admit that I need surgery on July 10th. Like I mentioned above I am trying to run and see if I can strengthen things up before surgery so I can recover faster afterwards and hoping at the same time by doing so something will change and I will suddenly be healed. Either way running with pain is better than not running at all right now. The not running was far worse than running every step with pain. I really miss not being able to run and train. I have not been as active on the blog for that reason because it just makes me miss it even more. I guess I am jealous of all of you healthy runners right now.
