I did my weekly run to test out my knee tonight.  I made it almost 2 miles before the knee pain started to creep up around a 3.  At first I slowed down a bit then I started experimenting with my stride.  I found that if I ran with a very exaggerated long leaping stride for a hundred yards or so, it would loosen up the knee and I could run again for a while.  

Ended up doing 5 miles with AP of 7:13.  I was very surprised to have run so fast.  I didn't feel like I was working hard at all.  I guess all the cross training is working.

I was excited to get to the gym after last nights run.  I decided my knee could use another good week of cross training, so I got on the stair machine again.

40 minutes alternating running for 2 minutes/ walking for 2 minutes.

That was way harder than my run last night.  When I finished I felt like I might pass out.  I really pushed hard today, but if it is keeping me in running shape, I'll keep doing it.
