I am feeling much better today though this morning my headache came back. I pressed through my ST workout as best I could and after awhile it went away. My lifting went well, I am lowering my weights and increasing my reps for the next few weeks. After my ST I came home and went for a 2 mile run outside and much to my surprise I ended up with a PR! I am so happy about this as It was out of the blue, I did not intend to push it or try for a record, but I made it! I am slowly seeing progress with my running and my knee is constantly getting better. I guess these things take time and I just need to keep working and I am sure that my runs will continue to get faster!
