3 miles after I put the kids to bed. My knee is finally coming around a bit, even though it is still waking me up every night hurting. I think it is getting a little better every day. Last week was by far the worst workout week of the year for me, and it is driving me nuts. This is my favorite time of the year to be in the mountains and I haven't been at all for two weeks now. I have already had to pass up some invitations to get out because of my knee, and I'm just hoping it will get better this week.

It was cold and windy tonight. Fall is definitely here. I got out and ran after the kids went to bed. My knee started to hurt pretty fast, so I didn't push it at all. Did 3 easy miles and then iced my knee. I also wore the brace to bed for the first time last night and I think it really helped. My knee has been getting so sore at night because I bend it when I sleep and then it locks up. The brace really helped. I'm taking it slow this week for sure.

2 miles today. My knee was a little sore, so I didn't want to push it. My gym is closed until Thursday, so I need to do something without putting too much pressure on my knee.

I went up my stairs tonight for the first time since the race without any pain in my knee. It seems to be feeling much better, and I am not going to push it. I did take Jun's advice and did some pushups and worked out at home with a dumbbell that I have. I worked out for about 50 minutes while I watched some really bad TV.

I'm really excited that my knee seems to be doing much better. I think I'll wait until next week to really test it though.

I wanted to hit the gym tonight, but I ended up golfing 18 holes at Thanksgiving Pt. for work, and I got home late. I actually tested out my knee a little on the golf course chasing my balls al over the rough. I think I walked about 2-3 miles and my knee felt really good, although it did get a touch sore on the back nine whenever I went up and down any hills. It was a perfect day out there. Iced my knee when I got home and it is getting better.

I woke up early this morning and hit the gym for 40 minutes. Lifted weights (upper body/core). My knee is feeling much better, although it is still waking me up at least once every night hurting. Whenever it gets bent for more than an hour it locks up and hurts. Once I get it straightened out the pain goes away within about 30 seconds, but it is annoying.

Took the dog on a walk and then also went on a two mile walk with the kids. The knee is getting better.
