The good news is that I'm feeling better. The bad news is that I'm still not in running condition. During my appointment on Wednesday, I warmed up on the bike and elliptical (neither bother me at all) and then tried running on the treadmill. Within two minutes, the stiffness in my knee returned and I had to stop for fear of making it worse. However, apparently my mobility is improving and my therapists are now fairly confident that this is a hamstring strain and not a medial meniscus tear.
I'll be going to PT for two more weeks so I'm hoping to see big improvements in the next fourteen days. As it looks right now, I'll be walking the entire 9.3 miles at the Hot Chocolate 15k in Philadelphia next weekend which hopefully won't be as boring as it sounds. I'm being optimistic and thinking that I may be able to do run/walk intervals for the Scranton Half in two weeks. We'll see.
