Notes
I had enough of not running. The weather was crap, so biking was out and I was feeling a bit sick. (The first time since I moved here that I felt any illness at all.) So I decided to test the knee again. My two prior attempts lasted about 3 minutes. Well today was a success in that I was able to run a whole mile. I still had some pain, but not as bad. This is a start hopefully of getting back to it.
I still can't sit more than a few minutes in the lotus position as the inside of the knee starts to hurt. I suspect when I can I will be fully healed. I just pray for decent weather so i can bike which not only helps maintain some fitness, is also good for the knee as it strengthens the quads.
