I hear your pain re the running--my knee's fried and I haven't done any cardio for over three months. Although it doesn't hurt all the time, I can't run on it and that does bother me.

I'll get it checked when I can--in the meantime I'm doing more with weights so it's not really that big a deal.

How about tomorrow trying to walk away from your next b / p episode? Find a calendar and put a lumberman's tally up there for every one that you squash.

I'll bet that in a while, you'll see the marks spreading out on the page and then you will get your b / p free day.

Good luck
