Orthopedic consult and rail trail jog

I had a good chat with Dr. Byrne, who 15 years ago 'scoped my right knee. After checking me out, looking at the pictures, and hearing how things have gone since then he said, "well your knees are ripe for surgery, but mentally you're not there yet. So, let me get you in as soon as possible, and I'll inject some gel, which will help you out."

Afterwards, I spent 40 minutes on a leisurely rail trail cruise (picture below), and followed it up a strength session focused on my knee PT exercises. This is an easy recovery week - keeping volume at or below two hours a day - so I'll bike up a portion of the Whiteface toll road.
