Knee was feeling a little more stabile today. It's all about taking baby steps and not trying to rush into anything. I'm glad my wrist is sprained too because it pretty much keeps me away from the weight room anyway.

I got into physio today for the first time since January. My insurance has already been maxed out so I have been avoiding it as much as possible. It feels good to get a second opinion on my knee and have a few strengthening exercises to do.

Pretty light, not used to lactic work, I much rather doing 1RM's in the weight room but it feels a lot gentler on my CNS, my knee is still sore but running speed endurance seems to be pretty easy on it, and allows me to keep my fitness.

Knee: about the same, I have been so busy with school that I have been neglecting my recovery protocol for the time being

Completely off day, didn't go to the gym even once today.

Knee: tender to touch, pain when flexing the quadriceps, vastus medialis feels weak, missing full knee extension

Felt pretty good, definitely not used to running anything over 30m... I feel like I'm going more out of running 200m's though then I do out of doing an obsessive amount of high intensity lifting--it's an opportunity to work on smoothing out my running mechanics. Knee was pretty good, didn't feel it while running but still hurts in extension.

This entire week has been pretty much off, I decided to pull the plug on the season and get back to 100% health. I'm taking six weeks to rehab my knee (possibly longer if I haven't progressed). I want to get rid of my lingering tendonitis once and for all. I am going to stick to tempo running, general strength circuits and knee rehab type squats until the New Year. This is very difficult for me, as I have never taken this much time off since I've started track when I was 14. Hopefully it will be for the best. I am going update my knee condition daily so I can track progress.

Knee: Pain when fully extended, still some pain in eccentric lowering. Begins to ache after sitting down for loing periods of time. Tender to touch at insertion point and along the side of the knee cap
