My doctor could not find any structural problems with my knees; he diagnosed them as suffering from "overuse." I am now to warm my knees before exercising and ice them after.
Cooling my knees down should not be a problem if the cold snap continues (I think it has already passed): I was able to get out skiing last night for an hour and thirteen minutes of moonlit cross-country. I hit a few patches of soggy, sticky snow, and my left ski was grabby by the end, but the pseudo-spirituality of crossing the empty fields (well, golf course) illuminated only by moonshine made it worthwhile. This morning my technique was better and the night's freeze prevented the snow from adhering to my skis. I was out for only fifty minutes though. Tonight, eager to test my now-warmed knees I walked for thirty-five minutes. I am unsure whether but hopeful that my joints will be loose enough that I can test out new shoes before Friday's departure.
Happy Birthday to me. I might mark it with some light stretching.
