Physical Therapist(PT): Hi Mike... Hows the knee today?
Me: Ehhh hurts somewhat the last few days. Just aches a lot in general.
(PT): Like... after doing PT?
Me: A little, but sometimes during a few of the exercises.
(PT): Hmmmm.... ok we can go thru the ones that bother it and see where in the knee it hurts.
Me: But it doesn't hurt when jogging so that is good.
(PT): What do you mean when jogging? <head turns to look at me>
Me: Well as we talked about last week, I started jogging slowly.
(PT) Ummm no. You aren't supposed to be jogging yet. I said walking was okay.
Me: You said I could walk, and then I said maybe jog, and you said as long as it is less than an hour.
(PT): No no no.... I meant it shouldn't hurt to jog a bit, but that doesn't mean you should start jogging again. I didn't want you walking around for hours at a time.
Me: hmmmmmm
(PT): Wait.... how long were you jogging?
Me: You said not more than an hour, so 45-55 mins or something like that just really slow.
(PT): Ohhh geez and how far?
Me: Depending on the day 3-5 miles.
(PT): OMG no no no! That is not a short jog. You cannot do that yet. You are what... 5 maybe 6 weeks out of surgery?
Me: Ya...5 and a half. But it doesn't hurt to jog slowly.
(PT): Just hurts for days and days after huh? keeping you awake some at night too?
Me: Ya a little.
(PT): You clearly need to be monitored or you are gonna hurt yourself.
Perhaps ultra runners have a different view of what a 'short jog' is compared to the average person? Doesn't she know I have Cuyamaca 100k in 4 months!
