This week, I continued to nurse a sore knee, resulting almost no running mileage. Monday morning, I set out to try an easy 2 to 4 mile run. The soreness returned before I completed the second mile, so I ended the run at 2 miles. I rested Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday morning, I decided to resume with easy cross training and no running, and allow plenty of recovery time. I walked 2 miles, and then bicycled 1/2 hour. A little soreness returned, and remained the rest of the day. Saturday morning, I walked 4 miles, with less soreness than Thursday. By Sunday morning, the soreness was further reduced. I went for another 4-mile walk, and felt good enough that I couldn't resist testing myself with several short jogging intervals mixed in, followed by very little soreness. Monday morning, my leg and knee felt pretty strong, but I rested again anyway.
I feel like I'm about ready to gradually ease back into a regular running routine. :-)
