Great job! I can totally understand why you did it -- gotta exorcise those demons and move on. I could have been you as a kid -- minus the asthma and allergies! I have the allergies now. I also tore an ACL a few years ago, but running has never bothered that knee -- it's the OTHER knee that complains sometimes. Keep us posted on your continued training. I predict a 10K in the not-too-distant future.
