I took the knee out for a run this morning for the first time in a couple weeks. No issues on a 4.5 mile trail run! I did some good knee stretches, wore my new trail running shoes from New Balance, and wore a knee sleeve. Very happy with the result. I'm going to be a little less rabid with my miles and try to rest a day or two between each run and we'll see if I can keep it healthy.
I really appreciate the help here.
