Milestone, 6 mo since injury, first 'running'

Friday the 13th.  

It was exactly 6 months ago when I felt that snap in my knee, Friday the 13th in Dec.

Today, after doing my morning exercises, I decided to go to the track to do my usual pre workout warm up, some bands, ab wheel, etc...  It was warm, on and off rain showers.

After a warm up, I tested the waters with some A skips, cariocas, and even some slow jogging, actually 'ankling' - small steps.  It felt ok so I decided to try the small staircase bleachers, only 14 steps.  It felt fine, really good.  No hint of pain.  So I ran another a little faster.  Then I did a set of 3.  Then a set of 10.  That got my HR up into the 150s.  It was great and quite a milestone.  First running of any kind in 6 mo.   And, the weight is coming off.  I was under 144 lbs for the first time in a while, but just... 143.9.   

Surprising I did anything today.  Yesterday I was up and down the ladder dozens of times doing work on my roof, and I was a tad sore when I first got up.  After stretching in the hot tub, felt much better.
