Been seeing a chiropractor about my chronic knee pain.  Seems that I have collapsed arches and I have been walking and running on the outsides of my feet.  This puts the knee in a weird position while striking which causes pain.  I am glad that I am finding this out about my body, but I am sad that it is taking a long time to get back to running.  

I will also, besides getting orthotics, be buying new running shoes in the next few weeks.  This is an expensive adventure, but I think being able to run again is worth it!

Good little run.  I have been cleared to run twice a week up to two miles each run.  I like that idea.  I was surprised that I did not get winded.  I guess that is the fear when you don't run for a month.  

 It was hard not to concentrate on how my feet were hitting the ground.  Teaching yourself how to run in a different way is completely weird and abnormal.  I hope that I can retrain myself though because I am pretty sure the knee pain will be kept away!

 It is great to be back!
