"Supposed to be a down day and that's kinda how I feel. Claudette convinced me I should try a run today and it didn't really go very well. I managed an uncomfortable 7.4 kms. We went to a movie late this aft and by the time we came out the knee was really sore. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be learning from this, but of course If I knew what it was I wouldn't have to learn it eh? I just keep telling myself that this is only a test to see if I really have the courage necessary to do what I want to do. Time will tell I guess. Tomorrow I will try riding for a couple of hours and see what the hell happens. One positive thing which surprised me is this brace Peter gave me for Christmas. He didn't know that I had already tried 2 different ones without any satisfaction. So I thought I would just give it try while sitting around and it really eased the discomfort before I went to bed. Maybe I could even run with it and might give it a try on Sunday. I'm pretty sure I can't ride with it because it is too restrictive to allow the knee bend necessary.
And that's about it for today. I have 10 minutes left in order to be able to post for the 100th day in a row without missing once!!!
Oh by the way....4 chinups today!!
And I would like to dedicate this 100th day to my neice Jessica. And doesn't that make her even more special than she already is.

holy crap!!
I have also tried many knee braces, as I have had knee pain for some time now. I chose a brace that myself personally found supportive but not too restrictive. I agree with you on the biking part, I think with such a bend in your knee the brace will cause you more discomfort then relief. The running is what I was thinking about when I got it for you. I hope you find use for it.
