Lake County Run 4/14
I was really bummed out this week because I started to see some swelling in my right knee. The good news is that after the rest and taking care of myself I was able to go out and set a new personal best for quickest mile and longest run.

Lake County Run 4/4/23
I feel like this was a really important run for me. It was the first time I was able to continuously run through the workout and the extra 5-minute run period that was optional.

Lake County Run 4/2/23
This mornings run was really good. I’m finally starting to be able to head out without any of the lower back pain.

Hoping that running will help improve strength in a few areas.
