Went rollerblading for a couple hours. Was able to work the legs a bit without putting much stress on the knee at all. Hardly ever felt the bad tendon straining. Only logging an hour of it because it wasn't a solid workout the whole time.

Just a little bit of knee exercises before bed. Wanted to do more but was feeling quite tired and sore from the exercises yesterday and the rollerblading earlier in the day.

Event: WCOC Sessions Woods
 

Easy warmup jogging. Knee feeling pretty tight and sore.

Felt decent in the beginning as my knee loosened up. Didn't last though as it just started to hurt more and more toward the end. Was hoping that running in the woods would be less pounding and more strength work, but apparently even just the act of repetitively lifting the knee is causing too much stress.

Felt really good to be in the woods and reading a map again.

Looked up some good knee rehab exercises and started doing them around the house all evening. Some feel really good, although a couple (especially stepping up) were still too stressful for the knee. Hopefully if I can do these consistently for the next few weeks the muscles around the knee will be strong enough to support running again without stressing the bad tendon.

Feeling better today, but knee is still feeling swollen. Went for a nice long 2-hour walk in the sun to test things out. Don't think the knee's ready for any road running yet. Might try a bike ride later in the evening.

Same.

Still feeling like crap. Just sleeping, no running.

Body totally worn out. Ended up spending the day in bed. Must have come down with something.

Easy warmup on the track. Knee not feeling so great.

Some moving strength/stretching exercises.

Tried some fartleks on the track. Felt decent starting out, but the knee started to feel like it was swelling up and actually freezing up a bit. Decided to cut it short and take the rest of the evening off.

A little worried about the knee. Not too sure what to do.
