"So Far, So Good"

Just a brief report. I ran 1o k today with the neoprene brace. I would give it a mixed review. It is quite restrictive and prevents me for running naturally. However the discomfort was manageable. I went out and bought a very light compression sleeve which I will try next time I run. The good news is that I believe I can keep on moving forward at least for now. Tomorrow I will swim and also try to bike for a couple of hours. If that goes ok thenI will run again the following day. My legs are generally sore and achy but I think that's a factor of many things including all the strengthening stuff I'm trying to do. So I'm cautiously optimistic while a little afraid at the same time.

Thanks to everyone for all their support, ideas and kind words.

I wish to dedicate day 102 to my brother in law Bert, a man who I always admired for his utter fearlessness.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us." ---Marianne Williamson
