Okay, still seeing what my knee can sustain.

The discomfort is still in my knee while running but not painful. No burning or stinging sensation nor anything to make me alter my stride. Afterward there has been no swelling or lingering pain. I am still taking the prescription anti-inflammatory medicine and plan to do so for the rest of this month. In Feb I will stop the drugs and see what happens.

If my schedule permits I hope to run a bit tomorrow for the first back-to-back workouts since the doctor visits.

Knee felt tight so I was a chicken, too afraid to run for fear of hurting. Just as well though as the winds picked up to howling levels in the afternoon.

It was bitterly cold so we kept the total distance short. Just as well since my knee was a bit tweaked at the end of the first period of running. No lingering effects though so that is better that my last run.

For now I think I will keep everything at 0.75 mi segments or shorter for running.
