Thanks dlish!

Yup, I'm being more careful this time. I've been building up to reach this 5K mark. I'm currently debating whether to increase my speed over the same distance, or increase my distance until I get to 10K/6 miles (if I do so, I figure adding half a mile a week would be safe).

My previous injury had to do with uneven muscle strength (which caused patellar rubbing), so a lot of the PT I've been doing is focused on getting my muscles to be even across the two legs.

Thanks for the nutritional advice

. I get tired sometimes at the gym too, so it's not too surprising that running can be tiring too. Usually eating something carby around then gives me back some energy though. I don't want to lose weight from running, and certainly not lose muscle protein, so I figure I need to make sure I eat a bit more... Would taking something like whey protein after a run help?

Hope she-lish and babylish are doing well!
