How did so much time past?

Now I know that I have been busy, but this is ridiculous as to how long it has been since I have updated my progress.

So the last I wrote I was having an MRI done of my knee. I now have the results of that back and I seem to have a crack in the cartilage underneath my knee cap. Well now that explains why it hurts. So there is not a lot that can be done except to manage the symptoms and not make it worse. So yesterday I went and saw a physical therapist who specializes in runners and he videotaped me running. I seem to have some weakness in my hips that is causing my legs to want to always be really close to together, so the plan is to strengthen the hip muscles so that I run with a distance of 6-8 inches between my feet. Also, he said it would be better to lengthen my stride just a bit. So now I will be working on my form and seeing how quickly I can make these changes and I have a whole bunch of exercises to do each day to strengthen my hips.

Myself, 3 of my teammates and 2 of our mentors had a wine tasting fund raiser this last Saturday night. We had a great time and raised a good amount of money. It was really great how many people came out and donated generously and bid on our silent auction items.

Tomorrow we have training @ Bonelli Park where we will bike for a couple of hours and then swim for a while afterwards. Should be fun and hot!!
