A short easy jog to check out the results of a week of rest for the legs and knees. The right knee has been suffering what I think is ITBS. No pain or discomfort for 2 days or so after nursing it with ice and ibuprofen for most of a week.

Starting off the knee felt different than normal but not uncomfortable or painful. Went 0.5 mi at slower than easy, walked 5 min, jogged 0.5 mi at the slow end of easy, walked 5 min, and then 1.0 mi at a respectable easy pace for me. Finished with a bit more walking. No pain or tenderness seemed present.

We'll see what tomorrow morning reveals.
