The knee has been feeling a little better and I thought I'd test it out.  I wanted to see how it initially responded then how it felt after things warmed up.  It didn't feel as well as I wanted it to.  I pretty much limped from about a third of a mile until I finished mile one.  After that I didn't necessarily limp but I still hurt and I couldn't decide how best to foot strike.  It was also hard to stay with a similar foot strike with right and left.

The good news is I was able to run through the pain which wasn't the case when I tried a month or two ago.  It's now Tuesday morning and I don't have any soreness or swelling so small slow runs probably won't damage it.  They may help.  This whole thing is a mystery.

Dang it. Let's get Scooby and the crew to solve this mystery. I remember when I did something to my knee in high school. I could barely walk on it. Then I was headed in to school that morning, limping along, and I didn't want anyone to pity me. So I tried walking normal and just biting the bullet with the pain. All of the sudden it wasn't hurting anymore. It was kind of weird.

Burt - I know, crazy stuff. But it is better than a month ago. If it keeps getting better then eventually it will be healed, right? So do think there is a monster mask on my knee that someone from that Mystery Machine can just pull off?
