2 easy miles probably around 7:30 average. Knee a bit stiffer and more pain than normal today so took it easy.

Ok, a better day to day than yesterday. Knee felt decent. Still pain but much lower on the pain scale. So I ran a little faster. On BYU indoor track with first mile in 6:44 and second mile in 6:29 for 13:13 for 2 miles. This was probably my best day so far pain wise. It was my fastest 2 mile run since I started running last month. Days like today give me a little more hope that maybe I can run pain free again someday and if not at least I still have hope of possibly running a decent 5K again.

Easy 2 miles at BYU indoor track. Averaged about 7:30-40 pace and felt ok. Lower pain level day which is always good. Still no noticeable swelling which I hope is also a good sign. If I had to rate the knee pain on a scale of 1-10 I would rate it at a 4 today for the first mile and dropping to a 2 by the end of the 2nd mile. On a bad day I would put the pain at about a 7-8 level during the first mile and a 4-5 during the second mile. So anytime the pain level drops below a 5 I think that is a good day.

Ok, today was another decent day. I was planning on going slower but the body wanted to go a little faster again. The knee pain was pretty low again. The 2 miles was in 13:19 with the first mile in 7:04 and the second mile in 6:15. Yeah!

Easy 2 mile run outdoors today. Ran a mile out and a mile back at BYU. The weather was great and the roads do not have ice so I went ahead and ran outside. It felt great to not run on the indoor track. Ran right at 8:00 pace and actually ran about 2.1 miles. Knee was ok but a little more pain than yesterday.
