We had to back off about a week ago because my recovery time started to increase after therapy instead of decrease.

Too much, too soon? A fine balance it is.

I am now allowed to walk or ride a bike for 10-15 minutes as a warmup before my exercises. I still cannot run. Projected date for first jog is March 20, a week after the season opens here.
I'm visiting my parents in southern California right now, so I get the please of walking outdoors instead of on my treadmill.

Such risk with so little reward. The slightest tweak of the knee due to an irregular surface in meniscal rehab can be a complete setback.
