MY KNEE IS BACK TO 100%.
Sorry for the capslock, but dude, if you were stuck on that fucking thing for three months, you'd be every bit as jubilant as I am right now. I'm back running on it, but not really - it's an interval-based eight-week program my physical therapist gave me. Run for X minutes, walk for Y minutes, repeat for Z sets. After that program's done I'll try for a mile three times a week, then move on to a mile and a half, then two miles, then two and a half, three - you get the picture. My pace is excellent - if I had to guess, I'd say I could keep around 6-minute-mile pace for the first couple of sets, maybe slowing to a 7- or 8-minute mile for the last few.
In other news - I saw the recruiting page for MARSOC and noticed tryouts are not restricted to 03XX MOSes. I might be putting the cart before the horse, but if I do get into the Corps, they say if you can run a 300+ PFT you can take basically anything it dishes out. I'd just need to work on my swimming some - get comfortable in the water and all that.
