Ran to the gym this afternoon. 4.5 miles at about a 9 min/mile pace. Then cooled off for .5 miles. The heat and the wind made it a little tough but I'm pleased that I was able to run the entire run- hills and all.

The knee felt pretty good. It's still pretty swollen but I don't feel I can wait around for the swelling to go away. Lots of ice and ibuprofen and I'm careful to make sure I'm not limping. Hopefully, I can run through it, since I don't have time to wait around anymore.

Tried to run but could not get into a comfortable gait without limping. The knee is still swollen, the calf is tight and the hamstring tendons are still aggravated. Made my way to the gym (about 1 mile) and tried to crosstrain (1 mile on the elliptical) but even that was uncomfortable.

Lots of ibuprofen and the swelling was down enough to crosstrain. I put 30 minutes in on the elliptical and 15 minutes in on the bike. Felt ok. I'm counting 1 mile /10 minutes although on the elliptical I was doing 8 min miles.
