I had a teachers conference with Lukas' teacher before school (all good grades and very encouraging comments; the teacher very impressed by the kind and caring way he helps a classmate with rather severe disabilities as well as his views on gender equality - who would have known; I though all he cares for is basketball) and the weather was so beautiful that I couldn't resist taking a walk afterwards. Very nice and much less snow than last time I was out. I didn't push it so the knee was doing mainly fine except for a few twinges in the uphills. The foot still more aggravated than it has been in a while, but not really bad (level 3-4).

Back to the PT. Added knee extensions and hamstring curls with weights (3 lbs, 3x15) plus one-legged calf raises (straight and bent knee). Was told it is good that the medial knee pain is better as it could have been cartilage damage, but the quick improvement suggests that it was just lack of stretching. The anterior pain most likely just tendonitis. Didn't get any additional advice on the plantar fasciitis more than to use shoe inserts (which I have done on and off) and do the calf exercises.

Elliptical.
