An out-and-back hike with Colette along the Eagle Trail, which is next to Littleville Lake in Huntington. Goal was to get a number of caches and to get a six-mile hike done, too. We were moderately successful on the caches, but the GPS signals were not great, so we encountered a wide variance between our two devices, so locating every cache wasn't possible.

Trail was surprisingly being used by a lot of people, we met at least eight others during our hike. And there's a boat ramp at the southern end of the lake which was understandably busy.

An out-and-back hike on the Housatonic Rail Trail from the cemetery. Knee is slowly healing, perhaps another week to get back to normal is what I expect.

A longer walk, still at an easy pace, however. This was on pavement rather than grass, primarily to see if it was any worse on the knee than the softer surface; the knee seemed fine. Only pain was going down the steep hill on the condo grounds.

Couple of walks today, one for a half-mile in the morning and then a mile in the evening, both with Colette. The pain while walking has diminished quite a bit, but the knee is far from feeling 'normal'.

Two half-mile walks during the day, mostly on grass. Knee is bending further without pain, but at a certain point it does hurt some. Encouraging though.

Walked a little more, this time on grass, rather than pavement. The knee seemed to like that, less painful, fewer clicking noises. Perhaps the NSAIDs are helping.

Walked (limped) a quarter mile on the condo roads. Lots of clicking noises from the knee and still painful.
