Taking a new approach...

Since I'm limited to two-mile runs for the moment, I'm going to try something different. I'm training with my heart rate monitor as my guide. I'm trying to keep my heart rate within a certain zone, and to do so, I've found that I have to actually walk at certain points to keep it from going too high. This allows me to continue to baby my knee, but I still feel like I'm doing something productive. I ran (with a few minutes of walking) just over 2 miles today....knee felt ok - not perfect - and I still felt like I had a workout. And the wonderful weather is a definite bonus - it felt so good just to be outside!
