Knee still has twinges even while walking normally.  Wanted to test it though.  More tender than it had been afterwards.  Looks like it needs more time.  Time to channel my inner aquaman and start swimming again.

Elliptical - 60:00 - 6 mile run equivalent

Knee was no worse in the morning than it had been the day before.  It was about the same.  Just some slight twinging when walking normally.

Today I went to the pool for a swim workout.  Been a long time since I did this regularly so it was not easy, especially for my arms.  Swam 1800 yards free.  Then used to the elliptical for 30 minutes.

Swim - 1800 yards (1.02 miles) - free - 34:45

Elliptical - 30:00 - 3 mile run equivalent

Both my wife and I met at the gym today.  Neither felt like going and said the only reason we did was because of the other.  Glad we went.
