This is not the log of each workout I do, but rather a higher level summary of what's happening with my training overall. For a detailed log, I use [[SportTracks]] and publish to [[Dailymile]] at http://www.dailymile.com/people/JonathanS.

I'm continuing to battle medial knee pain problems. I've been focusing resolving problems in several muscles that support the knee, which is helping, but progress is slow. The image below from a [[Thermal Camera]] shows clearly the heat and damage around my left knee.

My knee is continuing to recover, but it’s a slow process. I believe I have had multiple issues around the medial side of my left knee. I’m hopeful that the MCL has recovered, as has the Pes Anserinus, but to the meniscus still has some issues. (The Pes Anserinus is a common tendon for three muscles, the Sartorius, Gracilis, and Semitendinosus. The Sartorius has been a little problematic for me, but is recovering as well.) I’ve been doing a number of strengthening exercises using resistance bands each night and that seems to have helped far more than I would’ve expected. I’ve now transitioned from running a trivial number of miles each day to the earliest stages of normal training. I’ve started doing Treadmill Descent running, and I’m hopeful I can stretch out my longer runs to the 20-26 mile range.
