2 mile run, 2 mile walk with my husband.  It felt awesome to get out and actually sweat a little.

It has been over a month since I ran on a regular basis and I can't stand it any longer.  The doc said no running and no soccer until I have surgery and I have complied (until yesterday).  The swelling in my knee has been fairly non-existent since, but so has any form of exercise.  Due to my new job and my husbands wishes I am going to try and hold off on having ACL revision surgery until next summer (ughh).  So, I have decided I am going to try and start a very conservative running regime.  I figure if I keep my mileage low, stay off the hills, run flat paved runs (or on the treadmill) I can continue to run without aggravating my knee.  Hopefully, this will work. Otherwise I think I will go crazy.  I am addicted to running.

3.1 miles- AP 8:42.

5 mile hike in PC.  The terrain was pretty uneven but my knee seemed to fair fairly well.  We avoided steep inclines/declines.

Headed out on our mountain bikes only to find mine was in serious disrepair.  I guess that was to be expected since I haven't pulled it out of the garage in probably 5 years.  The gears were totally gummed up.  Oh well.  We went for a walk/run instead.  We walked the PC rail trail for about 3+ miles and then ran back.  Overall a good workout.  They had a good portion of the trail ripped up so I spent a good portion of the run watching my footing. 

Knee pain/swelling still minimal.
