5 miles with Jeff on the parkway. Again, painful. However, not as bad as last Thursday. The pain set in at the quarter mile mark, but didn’t ever get too much worse. Decided to turn back at 2.5 though. Had the knee area looked at by a PT last night. He moved it all about and I didn’t feel any pain. Pushing where the IT band connects caused pain. He does not believe anything is torn and said I couldn’t really hurt it by running, but it will slow the healing process. Going to just take it a day at a time.

Took the morning off. Wrapped the knee and went to work. Still not feeling great. Hopefully things start feeling better with more time off. Mowed the lawn by headlight and finished just after 8:30 PM. My IT hurt a little while mowing. The constant turning did not help things I don’t think. I decided to hop on the treadmill to test the waters. I rode for 35 minutes, the majority of which I was out of the saddle and in a harder gear. Interestingly, sitting in a normal biking position hurt my IT band a bit. Leaning forward and resting on my elbows made the pain go away. Standing and pushing it along in a harder gear (slow but steady) didn’t hurt either. Ok, I can do this for a while but man the spin bike is BORING!

6 miles with Jeff on the parkway. Almost no pain...almost. Took yesterday off and felt almost no pain all day. My knee sleeve arrived that I ordered. I figured a little compression and heat might help a little. I wore it all night and when I woke this morning I decided to take it easy this morning and give it a go. Felt good and kept it nice and easy. Started to feel a little tight after we turned around but it loosened back up. The final mile things started to ache a bit, but nothing serious. Ran a couple sub­8 without knowing. Likely going to take tomorrow off again or spin. No reason at all to push things.

6 miles in the rain out on the parkway with Jeff. Less pain than 2 days ago. Good sign.
