Single: Today was an up, down, up day so at least it ended on the right note. Knee about the same as yesterday. I can't believe St. George is only three weeks away. It is frustrating and encouraging. I think I can nurse something respectable out of my legs I just have to keep telling myself to be patient... I just did a home loop. Mi 4-R3
