A few more days and it will be five months since the surgery.
At this point I don’t know if I’ll post any more weekly updates about my knee since not too much is happening. At least not until I try running again or if something bad happens. The biking is bringing my left leg strength up to par with my right and the size difference between the two is becoming less noticeable. I drove the Mustang yesterday and for the first time putting in the clutch wasn’t accompanied by the anticipation of popping and pain. I’ve noticed that putting in the clutch is easier now that my strength has improved.
As I’ve probably mentioned before, I’m content just biking for now with the resistance trainer. After the semester really gets going and maybe the weather gets a little warmer I might start a return to running program with some guidance from my old coach. It’s hard for me to believe that I’ve found contentment in something else other than running, but hard biking seems to be doing the same job: making me tired. When I feel worn out, I feel like I’ve accomplished something. I do miss being outside and not relying on some piece of equipment to get me around, so I’m pretty certain that I’ll get back to running at some point as long as my knee allows.
