The knee is feeling ok today. Both of my knees are a little sore. Maybe it is the weather. I have been monitoring my right knee for any signs that I might have a torn meniscus. I have felt a couple minor twinges while the leg is relaxed, and I turn. But that is it.
I ran up some flights of stairs yesterday, and did a very short jog, with no ill effects.
I will do my scheduled 4 mile run tonight (7:35 pace), and see how I feel during and after the run.
I am guessing there is surgery in my future on that knee, the question is when. But I think I may be okay for a while, including my 32.6 mile ultra on Saturday. I sure don’t want to get out to the middle of the Northville Lake Placid Trail miles from anywhere, and have my knee go. That wouldn’t be good. But even when my left knee with the torn meniscus was at it’s worst, I could still walk. Though I probably would have been in pain after a long walk. I am going to bring some ibuprofen tablets with me.
