I know it’s not much, but…
it’s a start of sorts. Today, I jumped rope 6×100 on 30 seconds splits, then went out for a run/walk. http://j.mp/cNzcCR So, that’s the run-only portion. The walking added about another .75 miles for a total of about 1.6 miles. Here’s the thing though: it was all PAIN FREE! That’s right! For the FIRST time since early September, I’ve had a non-cycling workout without any knee pain.
After the run, the medial collateral ligament began to tighten and ache – as expected. However, I’ve been sitting here with the massage ball working mainly on the vastus medialis muscle in the quadriceps and Mr. MCL is loosening up which makes the pain go away. Further massage of the vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and the sartorius will complete the recovery.
This is really fine! :-)
And, I used Cyclemeter on iPhone for the stats today. Seems to have worked fine.

WOW. You are using anatomical words I can not pronounce; yet alone don’t know what they mean or where they are located. I need to pull out my old copy of Grey’s Anatomy. I hope I spelled all this correct.
