Starting S-l-o-w-l-y

Baby steps.

This is a picture of the “workout summary” after my run today:

1.0 miles.
10:00 pace.
0.0% elevation.
I kept my cadence very high (~180 steps/minute) and tried not to think about my knee.

Thankfully, it didn’t hurt – and doesn’t hurt now. It felt weird to be running, but that was more psychological than physical. After a good stretch, I’m now back at my desk with a bag of frozen peas on my knee. Now I’ll wait and see how it goes. I definitely won’t run tomorrow. After that, it’s one day (and one mile) at a time.
