2 very easy miles. I've let the hammy rest for close to a week and am starting rehab on it. Felt mostly good but was getting a little tight towards the end. Started a couple of therapy exercises afterwards.

I also scheduled surgery on my right knee to correct the plica syndrome I've been experiencing. It's mostly been behaving since my last injection (October), but there's lingering soreness. And I'm not lifting because weights aggravate my knee. I feel that lifting is going to be important for keeping my hammies healthy at this point. This is what, the 4th or 5th hamstring pull I've had in the last few years? I want to get my knees in good shape so everything else will (hopefully) fall in place.

I had to look up plica syndrome. Does the pain in that feel like it's the bottom of the knee cap? Also, are you cured from this? does it ever go away?

The pain was directly under the kneecap. I self-diagnosed as runners' knee before all this because the symptoms matched exactly.

I had the surgery on 12/27, so the outcome is still developing. I'm hopeful. The outcomes on this surgery are generally positive. The surgeon confirmed there was plica and removed some of the tissue. He also noted I have some minor to moderate wear in the cartilage under the kneecap. He did some "cleanup" there. I'm hoping with PT I'll be able to keep the knee healthy for years to come.
