Took it easy this morning just to test the knee. Didn't feel any pain or soreness, which is encouraging. I'll have to see how it feels later on to make sure it doesn't stiffen up from sitting at a desk all day.

No pain in my knee yesterday while sitting at my desk and no pain later that evening. Went a little farther and faster this morning and still no pain in my knee. Wore brace before and after as a precaution. Stretched hamstrings and ankles prior to starting, but right ankle was still a little sore. Didn't feel great, but things seem to be moving in the right direction. Just hoping I can get loosened up by Monday.

Felt pretty good this morning. Increased the pace and distance from yesterday. Didn't notice any pain or soreness in my knee or ankle. Getting some spring back in my step. I'm hoping I haven't lost too much endurance. Weather forecast for Boston looks pretty ugly (rain, wind, cold).

A little faster than yesterday just to make sure that my knee would hold up. Didn't notice any stiffness or soreness. Boston is going to be interesting -- if they don't cancel it this year for the first time. Some of the weather forecasts are saying rain/sleet mix with headwinds 35 to 45 miles an hour (gusting to 55 to 60). Doesn't sound like PR conditions :-)
