Just a quick update on my progress. I have continued to work on my running- still no problems. I am a few weeks past the two year mark. My operated on leg is about 1 1/2 cm smaller than the other. The quad muscles are more defined- but not as big as before. My knee pretty much does not give out at all except rarely. Giving out means it gives a little and then I catch myself- I don’t collapse or anything. I run mostly on the treadmill – but have done as much as 4 miles outside. Outside is really hard because of the hills. On the treadmill I’m down to three miles in about 30.5 minutes- slow but better than 2 1/2 months ago when same distance took 41 minutes. I am continuing to cycle and elliptical on days I don’t run. My bad leg gets stiff when I’m on my feet all day- especially in heels. No swelling- but there is a patch on the side of my knee that has no feeling- making shaving a perpetually life threatening experience!:) all in all – I’m doing great!
