4.5 treadmill miles at the gym.  Started out with .25 mile walk to warm up the knee.  I then ran 2 miles at an 8:30 pace, 1 mile at an 8:19 pace and 1 mile at a 9:13.  Ended with .25 mile cooldown.    Overall I felt pretty good.   My knee is a bit swollen and sore but that seems to be the norm these days.

yuck...when will that knee start to behave?!? I'm glad you were able to get through the miles with little/no pain!

I bet that is so frustrating to always have a swollen knee. Knee problems are why my daughters and I stopped doing marathons and switched to Triathlons. I didn't have any knee problems but both my daughters have had knee trouble ever since they ran a marathon.
