5.3 miles with cadets trails/hills. I ran with a group of students at a decent pace. We pushed the uphill sections a bit and then took it easy on downs. The up was ok, still normal knee pain but doable. The downs killed. I probably over did it but since I am having surgery anyway I didn't really care and I wanted to run with the group so I did.

Mostly mountain bike riding and hiking. Easy but the going uphill on the bike hurts the knee more than running. Also did 200 push-ups and 200 sit-ups.

Ran with students again. Plan was only to go a few miles with them but I couldn't resist and ran the whole way trying to push the faster ones. We ended up running 10 miles in 75 minutes with the middle 7 miles at 7:10 average and the last four miles sub 7:00. It pretty much sucked as I am not in very good shape to do this but I was determined to stay with the top two guys. The knee hurt but not as bad as I would have expected.
