So, I'm not stepping on the treadmill every day. To do so would be to commit murder to my ambition of being healthy in the long term.
As it is, yesterday I spent heating then stretching a little then icing it. It wasn't fun, but I wasn't in a crazy amount of pain. At one point on day 1, I moved my knee just right and heard a CRACK...and then there wasn't even the slightest tension! Hooray...too bad it didn't last terribly long.
Today I did go on the treadmill for 10 min at 2.6 for 1 min and 2.7 for 9. I came back up the stairs and rolled out on the roller then used the tension bands for some light strength building. I iced it after rolling it out again.
Right now, about 3 hours later, it feels tight and uncomfortable, but not painful! I'm thinking this is a step in the right direction.
I'm also hoping to get in a little bit of upper body lifting in this afternoon, but we'll see. Nap time is only so long. :)
XO,

Thanks for reading, I have a feeling this is going to get fairly tedious, so I'll try to spice it up just a little after I get a routine going!
