On the spin bike yet again. Only 1.5 hours today.

The knee feels pretty good but it is hard to tell since I am not allowed to put any weight on it. I really just want to walk on it and go for a short jog. However, I know I can't. I am at the two week mark on crutches and hopefully only have two more weeks before I can start some physical therapy. Normally I am one to push the limits when it comes to injuries and recovery but with this I am trying to really hold back and listen to the doctor. So two weeks down and two or so two go and then the longer rehab process can begin. I am staying positive and really looking forward to being able to run again one way or another.

Hang in there Ted, don't push yet ... think long term. I know it is hard, I am glad you are blogging so we can keep track of your progress.

I checked marathonguide.com...there are still races scheduled for the next year. Be patient. ;-)
