I did a tiny bit of pavement pounding today. I ran to the gym, a trip that takes me about 2 minutes max, and I ran home from the gym. So about 4 minutes in all, but in between I hammered out 25 minutes on the treadmill.
The knee felt a bit sore and sensitive today on the treadmill, so it may not have been the best day to start pounding the pavement. But my physical therapist said last week I was cleared to hit the streets.
I hadn't done it until today because the knee just wasn't where I wanted it to be and I didn't want to risk any excessive pounding. The treadmill's surface is more shock-absorbing than pavement and cement. As always, I'll find out tomorrow if this was a good idea or not.
