Another nice, cool morning. Best temperatures for running. I keep thinking “enjoy it while you can.”

The knee isn’t doing bad at all. It’s still healing, and I feel a few ligaments mildly complain for a minute. But that’s it. Just a minute. It’s transient. We therefore keep going.

Today’s run was a 2.05 mile mildly rolling route with the short 10%+ hill at the end. Pace was 9:16. Weight was 147.4.

Getting “cooler.” 38 degrees.

Still no real issues with the knee. The plan is to add a bit of distance starting tomorrow. Nice and slow.

A cooler morning for a run. Temperature around 46. It rained overnight, but the skies were clear by the time I hit the road.

Still no knee issues. One thing at a time, though. Sticking with the short distance for one more day.

Another mild morning. Mostly clear skies and 53 degrees. I’ll take it.

The knee really doesn’t hurt anymore. Occasionally I swear it feels like it’s popping/cracking a bit, but no pain and no swelling or discomfort either during the run or after. We’ll see.

Another nice morning for a knee recovery run. The toughest part of it all is being patient and not push. There’s intermittent mild “discomfort,” but it’s a discomfort that feels like something that was injured complaining a bit that it’s being asked to do work again.

Today’s run was the same 1.51 mile mostly flat with a short 10%+ grade hill at the end route. Pace was 9:28. Weight was 149.2/

Very comfortable morning for a run. 50 degrees and breezy.

The knee is interesting. I can feel a few things at different times. The plan is to stay at this distance for a while and ramp up when there isn’t anything noticeable.
