Every once in a while, a little insight. There are some things I might do that are really painful to my L knee, including back squats, box jumps, jump rope. I have been laying off them for a while. Then there are things that are not really painful, but irritating. Some of those I have been cheerfully engaging in, certainly not to any good effect. Today there were thrusters, which I could do, but would certainly fall in the irritating class. Instead I thought about push presses, did a few with a light weight and decided they were irritating, too. And then the insight. Instead of the prescribed thrusters and box jumps, two exercises that don't hurt my knee at all, and I did deadlifts and KB swings, 21-15-9. Very satisfactory, and no vitamin I required.

A little loop from PV up E river rd and back W river rd, with Rhonda and Zack. A test for the knee. Not horrible, but mildly irritating. A lot of work to do to get back in biking condition, but will have to approach it gradually.
