And that's what I did yesterday - 1.6 miles on a soft dirt bridal trail at Griffith Park. A crew erected a large Christmas tree for the park's annual light show as I strolled past. I'm adding a little distance each week. When I can walk 3 miles without soreness, I'll try running a quarter mile or so.
Five years of t'ai chi really build up my quads and glutes. No wonder I wasn't injured on my first marathon. Now I'm practicing it again so as to build up my quads and glutes. There's a temptation to quit the whole rehabilitation thing and just eat. But then I'd start getting caught in doorways again. Forward, slowly, until my knee positively proves I can't run again. I believe I can.
Until then, I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription to Runner's World. The only section I read is food and diet.

You'll be there again. Just take it slow and let common sense take you forward. Your knee will let you know when it's time to pull back.
Of course you already know that.
Nonetheless, nice to hear.
