My knee felt infinitely better this morning. It was a huge relief to get the x-rays done. I did my morning stretches and felt an urge to run. I’ve been doing a lot of research about improving bone density and even reversing osteoporosis, and I read an article which says running is excellent, especially downhill (my favourite!) and trail running, as well as varying the type of running. Plodding for 3 miles has no particular benefits but mixing it up does. I didn’t need much more encouragement. I ran about a third. My knee grumbled a little but it feels great now. Thank goodness for running in the darker months. I’m still buzzing.
