Quick update:
I have completed 11 weeks of half marathon training, following a plan from the Runner's World site. I plan to run the PEI Half Marathon in October, 2008 with my sister (we did this before in 2006).

My knee has been healing like a rockstar since I finished physiotherapy in April of this year, following my December 2007 ACL reconstruction. It is not 100% yet (probably 90%) but I am working out harder and longer than I have in years (without a brace, I might add). I still favour my good leg a bit out of caution but mostly out of habit. This time last year I was unable to run a mile or two.. now my 8 mile long runs are enjoyable and pain free (well, aside from fatigue!). The human body, and medical technology, are amazing.
