    It's slows me down and doesn't allow me to complete a lot of projects because I have to sit and rest my knee, I get frustrated because I can't do what I want to do

    Running is my favorite exercise but row and bike more lately. Hope to run 3-4 times a week

    Running in cushioned shoes Nikes and now Bew Balance Beacons and using Wivvi customized insoles. Trying Sketchers cushioned work shoes. All seem to help with isometrics. Good month.

    Looking at using firmer cushioned shoes, neutral since wearing orthotic insoles that are suppose to help posture. A good week so far with a good day today with a firmer shoe, less inward flex.

    Moving back to Nike RN’s light feel and well cushioned with low impact.
