It has been a few months since my last post – so I will update on my progress.  I do not have many problems running on the treadmill.  Ran 4 miles yesterday in about 39 minutes without pain.  I still struggle outside because of the quad muscle not being fully developed and the hills kill me.  But it is definitely improving. I continue to lift weights etc…. and I have noticed that it is getting easier and I can increase the weights.  The plan right now is to do a 10k in August.  I am trying to be smart about taking things gradually.  I am breaking up running by at least a day in between and therefore am only running about 3 times a week.  I cycle or elliptical on the other days.  This week I  ran 4miles each on three spread out days.  Next week I will probably do the same and then increase to 4.5 for a week or two – working my way to 6 for the 10k.  Slow but sure is my progress.  Still feeling pretty good about the situation!
