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.

Knee felt better than on Monday.  That was encouraging, although I took and ibuprofen 30 minutes before.  I hope it continues to heal.  Pace was slow.  I've been accumulating lead in my legs over the last 5 months.  It was hard to run these 3.  Weird.  I should have been cross training, but I don't really like it.  

 Lots of pelicans out this morning at the wetlands just up the street from my house.  It's fun to watch these birds fly.
