8 x 2/1 run/walk on the Lake Padden loop. I'm in Anacortes for work and am checking out some of my old haunts. I love this area. Miss the trails and access to trails. Utah has some great outdoors access, but this area takes all that and pretty much plops it in your back yard.

3 on/1 off around Padden. I was going to take today off but couldn't resist one more loop around the lake.

Took a few days off running since last week was a significant increase in load. Easy 3 on/1 off in North Salt Lake this morning.

My knee is holding up pretty well, but there's still a good bit of stiffness. And every now and then I do something that makes it hurt. So still being very careful. Still working with my PT, spending a lot of time in the gym, and still cycling just about every day in addition to the little runs.

3 x 5/1 run/walk. Upped the interval to 5 min and everything felt good. Still stiff/swollen after a lot of activity, but PT says it's fine as long as there's no pain.

45 min cycling. My knee feels a little irritated. Increased stimuli from PT and running. Need a running break for a few days to let it recover.
