Three months ago I was told that I should never run again. My MRI indicated that just about everything in my left knee was torn to shreds. I accepted the edict and resigned myself to swimming and biking. I continued to run in the water and added more intensity to my runs. Last week I ran on a dirt path for 1 1/2 miles and today I ran a 5K on the Resevoir around Centrl Park. Without pushing it I ran 8:40 pace. I will coantinue to run once a week onland and three more times in the water. I am preparing to do a triathon again. I have one in Cuba the beginning of October with a 5K run.

Running in the water is saving my running.
