I'm running again properly.

Previous attempts at running have led to aching and throbbing and a general feeling that it simply wasn't good for my knee, and previous attempts at cycling have cause real pain in my weaker thigh muscles, plus a lot of uncomfortable knee clicking.

But this time I've started slowly, with a few attempts at jogging short distances with no adverse reactions--so tonight was the night to get going properly again.

I've started on an easy preliminary 5- or 10k training schedule (2 minutes running, 2 minutes walking, repeat 4x on the first night, 5x on the second night, 6x on the third, 7x on the fourth, with a day in between each, upping the running time by one minute each week--oh, hell, you can figure it out yourself; it's not that complicated), so I'm back to square 1. Never mind: for me, running is just a competition with myself, not anyone else, and I'm just glad to be moving again.

The knee doesn't seem to be complaining yet.
