Some of the range of motion is coming back. I went to the weight room to use an elliptical, but didn't realize there are only 4... and I came at the worst possible time. I'm getting up early tomorrow so I can make sure to get a workout in. I tried a bike, but I couldn't bend my knee enough. I tried to jog a little, but it couldn't take the weight. It was frustrating.

AM - Got to the weight room right at 6 so I could claim my elliptical. Did an hour on it, and managed to keep my heart rate between 140 and 145. I've measured it at about 140 on training runs, so hopefully this will help me preserve some of my aerobic conditioning. It's disgusting how much I sweat in stationary air.

I also dropped by Eyestone's office, and I didn't make the cut. Bad timing on this injury, I think I could have had a great race last weekend.

45 minutes on the elliptical tonight. I got there a little late, so didn't get as much time as I wanted. Kept the HR around 140-145 the first half, then up around 160-165 the last 20 minutes. I jogged about 100 meters, and things are feeling much better, but it's not quite there. My knee isn't lifting and my foot kind of drags on the ground.

Got to the weight room bright and early this morning for an hour on the elliptical. They wouldn't let me in until I shaved (what do they expect, who shaves that early, anyway?) and I feel extremely resentful for it. Mostly because my only option of shaving without missing the workout was to use their butter knife razors and watered down shaving cream. It felt like taking a potato peeler to my skin. Anyway, HR stayed at about 135 the first 20 minutes, then 142-147 the last 40 minutes.

I'm itching to run again. Tonight I might try a short one. I can bend the knee more than 90 degrees now, but it is still stiff. Maybe a slow shuffle would be sustainable.

45 minutes on the elliptical this morning. Tried to run tonight, but could only make it about one block.
