| 1 mile running (pain free!) and 90 minutes of cycling. Cycling covered 26 miles and ~2000 ft elevation gain, average speed of 17 mph. I have no idea what is good for cycling, but I don't think this was particularly impressive. I miss running. On the plus side, I think I maintained a pretty high level of intensity, I'd say considerably harder than my standard 90 min run.

| 3 miles running, 75 minutes biking (~22 miles, 18 mph average, 500 ft elevation). My knee is coming along. Aside from slight patelar irritation from the cycling I couldn't feel anything off about my stride. I think I'll cautiously increase the mileage from here and continue cycling to fill in the gaps. I biked along the bay front towards the Indian reservation and turned around at the Nooksack. I did a little maintenance on the bike afterwards, we'll see if there's any improvement in speed. I feel like I'm underachieving.

| 5 miles running, no pain. I wanted to get out on the bike, but I had some car trouble that needed tending to.

| Easy 5. Added 25 minutes of hard elliptical at work. I started with 15 minutes hard that got my HR up to 160, then decided I'd be happier doing intervals, so I took one minute easy, then 2 on, 1 off till I reached 25. HR hit 160 during intervals, dropped to 148 in between. I'm hoping that approximated VO2 max work.

| Work loop. My knee was a little sore today, so I opted to let it rest.

| Big aerobic day. I had plenty of free time so I opted for a long ride followed by my longest run so far since the injury. I headed south past Lake Samish and connected over to Chuckanut drive. Took the scenic route back up to Bellingham and then back home. 32 miles, 1:46:41, the Garmin had me at 18.2 average speed with 1814 ft elevation gain. I wonder how this correlates to running. I took my pulse at 150 bpm a couple of times on the flats of the ride, and I know it went higher on uphills. The downhills I pedal hard and I never quite reach the capacity of the bike (32 mph is my fastest so far), so it should be similar effort to the flats. 100 minutes of 150 bpm work seems like it ought to be 1:1 with running as far as aerobic development goes. I'm usually 130-140 bpm on a run.
I took a few hours to relax and wait for my wife to finish work, then she hopped on her bike and I ran with her up to California for an easy 7 miles. My knee has been improving overall, but I still have a little soreness and stiffness. It's not affecting the easy running, but I don't think I'm ready to try a harder effort until I've given it more time.
