Crunchy Knee

So I have come to the conclusion that my knee, though feeling fine, is still going to be crunchy sounding when I walk up steps or steep hills.  It causes me no pain anymore, just sounds really odd, so on with the exercise. 

I actually ran this morning on my treadmill.  It felt so good to get back to it.  I did a mile and a half in about fifteen minutes, of course that included some light jogging to catch my breath.  I figure I can slowly work my time back down and once I get my run where I want it to be than I will think about adding other exercise back into my routine. 

It can be difficult finding uninterrupted time to work out.  So it will either have to be a quick run in the morning and wait until the girls go down at night if I want to do anything else.  Tate seems to think that napping is optional now so that time is now sadly gone as an exercise opportunity.

I just keep thinking, no wonder there are so many out of shape, overweight moms, as everyday seems to revolve around chores, kids, and errands, where do you find the time to cram in exercise and basic me time? Early morning, or late at night, both are really not ideal since you are either still tired, waking up or now tired.  Well, I will manage it I am sure, even if I have to lock them out of the office for fifteen for a quick run.

Wish me luck, lets hope nothing else decides it is time to break down on my body, between my back, knees, random abdominal cramping and shins I deserve a reprieve for a while from issues.  I need this exercise.  I refuse to hold onto almost fifty extra pounds.  I am too short to be so round and I want my pre-kids body back.  It may take me the next few years if necessary to do it but I will.   So crunchy knee, here is to you, get over yourself, I have.
