Took it easy this morning to test our my knee and see if it was fully recovered. Ran on the treadmill as a storm front was passing through with wind and rain. About three miles into the run my left ankle got a little sore, but I didn't notice any pain or stiffness in my right knee at all. After walking around and driving into work it's still feeling OK, but every once in a while I seem to detect a bit of stiffness (it might just be my overactive imagination). It might be too early to say that it's completely healed, but it's at least encouraging at this point. I'll try five or so for the next two days and then see about a 20 miler on Saturday. Even now, I think I'll break the long run up. Ten miles early with ice and rest and then another ten miles in the early afternoon. |
