Very short walk in Tower Grove. Knee feeling better - as if recovering from a sprain or jam. But I didn't do either of those yesterday. No swelling. May or may not be ready to run Sunday for SLOC Xmas.
Got to 'Circus Flora with Symphony' show - fantastic! Even trained cats! (Yes, the little types.) Walked stairs a few times - knee feeling better!

Short, late afternoon run in Forest park. Pleasant southerly breeze and nice chat with ice-skating Aussie.

Planned on 30 minutes but at 21 minutes right knee started hurting badly. No trauma or twist occurred, so not sure what instigated it. At or just below knee. Tendonitis? Hurt each time I landed on right foot. No swelling. Perhaps once a month, I'd noticed a similar related pain or weakness going downstairs - but each was just one-step.

Better on Friday, but stairs and bending still painful. Skip today's hike and wait it out for now....

Very pleasant slow-paced uphill Sierra Club hike on Ozark Trail from Hwy. 21 trail-head to Taum Sauk peak. Much of trek closely resembled the hills of Hawn. Also, lots of deadfall from a couple years ago but trail was cleared.

8*6 sets. Felt good - my goal was only 6 sets.

11 double sets at Y.

I should do at least a little running. I did! On indoor track at Y.
I'll save legs for Wed's Sierra Club hike.
