Chondromalacia was the diagnosis. Another cortisone shot. No running until all of the swelling and pain is gone. I am to bike and do quads sets. If things go really well I might be able to walk SGM- I'm not sure what I think about that.

45 minutes on the bike - 16.5 miles for a pace of 21.6 mph. 10 minutes on the treadmill- Fit test at speed of 4.0. My knee is feeling great. Hopefully it continues to improve.

Went down to JRP with the family and ran for the first time in a while. I never really got a chance to test my fitness as I had to wait for my daughter on her bike but I my knee felt really good. I ran into Walter and James (?) and had a nice chat with them.

It was nice to be running again.

slow mile = crosstraining

fast miles = running

My Daughter did a triathalon this morning. I ran along side her. It include 1 lap in the pool, 1 mile on the bike and a 1/2 mile run. She did great and I got in a light workout.

I also played my first soccer game in months today. My knee felt great and I has not gotten swollen or sore. Hopefully I am on the road to recovery.

I'm going to count 3 miles for the running I did today, although it was probably a little more than that.

Took a nice easy run to the gym. It felt great to be out running again. I ran continuously for 4.9 miles. My AP was 8:49. I actually feel pretty good about that pace since I haven't done much for the past two months. If my knee cooperates I think I may attempt to run/walk SGM. Maybe it will be fun- since I have no expectations whatsoever. Walked an additional 1.6 miles.
