Any cross training that doesn't hurt the knee? You could maintain your fitness pretty well on the bike or elliptical is that is pain-free. Hope this issue gets resolved soon! I know how frustrating it is...maybe this is a good time to take a little down time so you can have a great year next year!

Thanks Andrea,

I have been Swimming and that doesn't bother me while I am doing it. Its later in the day its starts to feel pretty sore from the morning workout. I have a deep tissue massage scheduled next week to see if that will help. But I agree it is a good time of the year to take off. Hopefully it will help in the later part of the year next year.
