I'm running again but not as much as I want

I'm running again but not as much as I want.  I've been working with my physical therapist and my mileage has been increasing slowly.  Some days my knee feels great and other days it doesn't.  The original issues on the lateral side of my knee are pretty much gone and now I have this one particular spot on the medial side of my knee.  Taping helps it out but my PT thinks it is cartilage damage and we are taking a conservation approach to help the inflammation to ease up.  I still think that surgery to repair my knee might be a good thing eventually.

Otherwise, I'm still hitting the gym with my personal trainer.  My strength is definitely increasing and my body composition is improving as well.  Those are going in the right direction, slowly, but definitely in the right direction.  I got my body fat measured last week and it was at 12.3%.  I feel like I'm higher than that but I'm an apple and my body fat is stored in my torso with little fat in my legs and arms.  I'm still hovering in the 184-187 range which is higher than I like but I bought new jeans with a 31" waist so more proof that my bod comp is changing.  I've also "been on a mission" and being really disciplined about what goes in my belly.  Clean foods with fewer and fewer cheats lately.  I haven't had a Friday donut in weeks now and I'm really focusing on good choices to reach my goals.  There have been a few lapses but I'm focused and it is showing.
