The right knee is still pretty sore on the inside of the knee when I try to straighten it fully.  I am going to do an upper body workout tonight and a little walking, but nothing to blog about.

I have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow afternoon just to make sure that I am letting the leg heal correctly. With two marathons and a 50 miler in the next 6 weeks, I can't push the leg and have it recover in time.

My plan right now is to not swim or run until I go on vacation on Thursday morning.  Then, lots of hiking on vacation and maybe some gentle running. 

I do want to do some pushup and core/abs work every day while on vacation.

Exciting - we have tickets to Wicked on Sunday night!

Sounds like you have a lot of fun things to look forward to this week! I love the anticipation as much as I love the actual 'doing'. Take care of that knee. I can't believe you're going for the 50 M! (no problem right?).
