Tryin' to Keep Rollin'

I think* this flare up is coming to an end. Yay! I realized this morning that I should be thankful for these flare ups so I can appreciate how "good" I feel when I'm not having one.
Last week's diet kinda sucked. I would eat really well until the evening then it pretty much went out the window most days. This week I'll try and do better.
Last week's exercising goal got accomplished; I ran 4 days out of 7-BIG yay!! It wasn't super easy but I managed to do three 4-5km runs and a 7km run on Saturday. I was so proud I took a picture of my sidekick (my dog Peanut). This week I just want to do the same as far as running frequency is concerned, but I also want to get at least 3 strength sessions in. Last week I managed 2 and although it wasn't difficult, finding the time to do it was. This week's challenge will be finding the time during the weekend when my husband is working and its my mother's birthday.
So how's the knee doing? It's generally achy sore, and when I walk I can still feel my tibia (?-I think) hitting my femur after a few minutes of walking but otherwise it's okay. I really think the space between the two bones has decreased since I feel this sensation more than ever, but maybe if I lose more weight that will stop. Time will tell and is certainly faster than waiting for any diagnostic test that may/may not give me an answer. I made myself a deal though. If I get my weight down to what I was before the accident last year, say around 140-150lbs and I still feel like these two bones are hitting each other, I'll see a doctor. I don't think there's anything they will do, but I will push for a new MRI so the progression of this OA can be tracked (something no one seems concerned about except me). I figure if I do everything I can on my end, then they will have do try some kind of treatment if I'm still in pain (and I mean non-drug treatment). We shall see.
