Running Accomplishments:

Really just starting out-Only two road race experiences so far:

Balloon Fest 5K 26:35 (7/2007)

Mt. Washington Road Race 2:13 (6/2009)

Short-Term Running Goals:

Recovering from Knee injury- traumatic dislocation leading to MPFL repair and microfracture surgery for a 2.2 full thickness articular lesion under my patella. I have just been given the green light to start jogging on a treadmill (or track clear of snow). I am hoping to be ready for the Mt. Washingtn Road Race in June... not sure if that is realistic, but I am very excited to start working towards it. I had to walk the majority of it last year and I would like to run 3/4 of it this year.

Long-Term Running Goals:

So much!

Personal:

30 year old female from NH

Enjoy hiking, running, fishing, climbing... novice in all areas, and interested in skiiing!

Met with Jason in the gym. Tried doing one lunge with bosu (right leg forward)-- VERY painful (pain=9). 

10 squats (both feet on bosu's) x1

Combination: x3

10 squats on bosu's

10 Lunges (using two bosu's)- pain=5 (doable)

6 Dead Lifts (40 lbs) x3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feeling frustrated. I don't think most people understand my injury or the sometimes very intense pain. Not sure if I should be working through all of it or letting myself stop when I'm at a 9 for pain. My Dr. had said to never do lunges, squats, or kneeling. I don't think it is a realistic expectation- but I'm not sure how much to push it.

Is there anyone out there with advice on lunges, squatting, and kneeling after microfracture surgery?
