Went out for my Monday night test run after getting the kids down.  It was better than last week.  I made it 1.6 miles before the knee started tightening up.  I switched to my walk, jog, skip, run backwards, sideways shuffle, etc. routine when the pain hit about a 3 or 4.  I didn't want to aggravate my knee.  I ended up doing 5.3 miles with an average pace of 9:48.  

I was bummed that I am not better yet, but encouraged that I made some progress.  I'll do another week of cross training and try again next Monday.

Had to get up early to be at seminary at 5:30 this morning.  I had time to get in a workout at home between that and work though.  

Core work

Leg exercises with strength bands

30 minutes jump rope- my shoulders are going to be sore

Today has been a wonderful Saturday spent with my family playing and relaxing together.  The Cougar's victory was the cherry on top.
