Would love to have gone outside, but it's like 3 degrees and icy.  My knee's not stable enough to absorb another slip.  Back on the TM and had my first 10-mile run since Thanksgiving weekend (I think).  Overall, kept about an 8:40 pace, bouncing around from about 9:05 pace to 8:20.  Stopped 2x for 1 minute to stretch and make sure everything felt ok.  Knee wasn't in pain, but still noticably weak.  It's going to take some time to rebuild strength and endurance.  Hoping to stay consistent, keep away from speedwork for the time being, and continue to listen to my body.
