Nice ride with Carm today in beautiful weather. 65F with wind 12-18mph. Towed LJ. We went on teh Falmouth to Woods hole trail and back. took 52 min down and 1hr back. more of a headwind coming back. avg 12mph down to Woods Holeabnd at about 11mph back.

Got my MRI report back today. I have a Medial Meniscus Tear in the left knee. It doesn't appear to be very big. I think for now, I am going to continue Celebrex until the end of the month and if I still have pain with runnin in early May then I will try a shot of cortisone in my knee to help.

PT Test.

Warm day at 65F wtih winds 8-12 mph

Did 52 PU, 48? SU
Then ran the 1.5mi run but not in the time I thought I could get easily. Ran with 3 others who I passed at the end of the second lap. Then no motivation to go faster. Knee certainly did hurt.

I may try to do it again Fri Am. I think I messed up on the situps. I thought I need 46 so I stopped with 3 sec left at 48. Looks like I needed 49. No big deal all around still scored in the 90s.

Pre-PT test warm up mile.

early am ride to base and around housing then back. 5.5 miles exactly to work from home. temp 40F and cool with light wind 5-10. avg spd 18.5mph. wore nike skin shirt, ls jersey and wind jacket, long thin tights with shoets under. if i had worn my skull cap and toe covers it would have been perfect.

Last hard run before my PT test on Wed. Ran my 2 mile out and back. Was much faster than I thought despite terrible knee pain. ran 6:25 out and 6:32 back. WOW!!!!! Temp 50F and cool with slight tail wind going out and headwind coming back 8-12mph.

Knee still hurts pretty bad. I guess not taking Celebrex for the last 2 days was a mistake.
