I was at the gym again today, my knee felt a bit better today. I think all my icing and the KT tape might be helping a bit, along with the quad workouts that I have been doing. Kept the first 2 miles at 9:30mm, then the next two at 9:00, then next two at 8:30, then the last one at 9:00. I had to stop at mile three to go potty, while I was washing my hands there were two ladies talking about their weight. The one lady had to be about 105 max... she was tiny and was saying how she was happy she was not too thin because that was not attractive. You could see every muscle and fiber on her! I'm standing there with my terminal pudge!!! Augghhhh so awful, I just put my headset back on and went out to run. There is a guy and his wife that show up every time I'm at the gym... he has on mountain dew lounge pants and she has on Dr. Pepper louge pants. Then there was the guy on the treadmill next to me that had on doc matrin boots and walk at a very very slow pace for an hour! What is the point? People are so weird! I'm sure they look at me and think the same.

You make me laugh so hard!

Glad your knee is feeling better!

You do seem to have an interesting cast of characters, both at the gym and out on the parkway.

I too am glad that your knee is feeling better.

Happy for the knee. Doc Martens should go into the running shoe business.

Thanks... I hope my knee continues to do better, it's got a long way to go to be back to no pain.

Carolyn, I wonder if I just attract the weird cast of characters, or maybe I'm just one of them :)

JD - really? Doc Martin runners? You would get really good workout, it would be like having 5 pound shoes.
