Hi - it's been awhile. I took two months off - one month during which my cracked kneecap was still painful, and one more month for the healing process to hopefully complete.
It seems as though it did, as I began running almost two weeks ago, and have been pain-free. Started with just 30 very slow minutes a day, then tried two runs of 50 minutes and last night did an interval workout (!). The pace was still quite easy - 5 mins. per km - but was quite a bit faster than I had been running.
No pain at all, so I'll continue building up gradually and hope to be in some kind of shape two months from now. I entered a 10K race on April 29, so that's my target for being able to run 10K without embarrassing myself.

Good to see you back Bob. Looking forward to seeing how you knock yourself into some sort of shape for the 10k. Good luck with the knee.
