Giants: Week 3: pain free marathon

I ran 8 miles on Sunday, with my new Brooks running shoes. It was quite painful after the 7^th mile. My knees felt very tired but I kept pushing through it. I then took 2 days off from running. I thought about doing some swimming or working out on my leg muscles but ended up doing just some research about knee health. It seems that the wear on knees from running is unavoidable. Dang, this is gonna be my first race, but certainly not the last one. So I went to see a physical therapist, David Severson in Milpitas. My coworker strongly recommended him to me and the visit turned out great! I learned some useful exercises and got a lot of assurance and now, I’m committed to run the race PAIN FREE!
