AM: 1-leg squats 2x10, plus ball-wall squats, L-down, R-up (mostly)

AM - out with Migraine,
PM - 1 DT/stretch/ice set per plan. Knee mildly stiff/sore...

1 strength set per plan, 1 DT/stretch/ice set per plan

Per plan, I did 3x DT/stretch/ice

Walked to/around VFMS track. Unfortunately, my L-knee is mildly annoyed by this. Not much, but this is far from running. I wonder if a 350 cal/hr cycling 20 minutes (per the nice warmup on 2/27) would be better (or if both are just a mild source of knee re-aggravation at this time.)

Back to see Val @ Excel PT, I was considering bailing back to my run-a-few-minutes thing, but a progress test was mixed enough that I decided to stick with her advice, although we modified the plan a bit.

Warmup was 20 minutes of reclined cycling @ 350 cal./hr. Knee a bit sore/stiff coming into the office, but it seemed to warm up after 10-15 minutes of cycling to barely noticable.

C • Modified Plan 1

Knee-test-run. Made it to 3 minutes w/o pain.

C • Mixed test result 1

1-leg squats, 2x10 each
ball-on-wall-at-back, down-on-L-leg-only, up-w/mostly-R-leg (more eccentric) - about 25

Lots of stretching and 'active release technique' (I think?) w/Val.

2 more sets of DT/Stretch/Ice later in the day.

Walked to/around VFMS track.

AM set of DT, stretch, L-knee squats, stretch, ice. Only did the squats through about 60 degrees of knee bed today, vs. trying for 90 (probably 75-90) two days ago. Apparently the latter was too hard.

PM just did DT, stretch, ice, as knee was getting upset again in evening, and again by 10am the next morning (but was zero-pain from wake until 9am)

2x DT/stretch/ice. Mild knee annoyance remained there on/off most the day...
