2.06 miles of RUNNING on the treadmill (3% incline and 7:30 pace). First run since March 29th so I get to count the .06. At least it's a start. Also did 30 minutes on the bike, 15 minutes of arm biking and lots of PT.  After 3 ineffective cortisone shots I finally got an MRI last week. It didn't show any tears, which was good, but it did reaffirm that I have/had a bad case of ITBS. The bone at the insertion point was irritated and there was still fluid under the band which was causing the creaking and friction when I bent my knee. I wanted to stick a pin in my knee to release the fluid but Matt didn't think that was a great idea. I have to give a special thanks to Matt for reading the results on a weekend and for overcoming multiple technical issues.   

So after about eight weeks of doing weights, some biking, swimming and the arm bike, lots of rowing, and PT almost everyday I am finally seeing some progress.  I think I will start trying to run every other day and slowly inch up the miles.
