Notes

Both patella tendons are a bit sore. Noticed some on/off knee ache the last couple days but it was worse this morning. Began prodding around and sure enough the tendons are sore with some massage around the lower connection point. The mild dull ache is on the outer side of the tendon. Tight shins might be contributing factor?

Doesn't seem too bad but much worse than I would have ever guessed given the amount of time since the injury and the exercises I've done - perhaps I slacked a bit on the eccentric quad work.

Hoping this is just due to a jump in training and some of the leg work on Saturday. No running tonight, ice, ibuprofen, massage and stretching. Will re-evaluate tomorrow and keep a close eye on this.

Probably something I should have caught last week. Really don't like the idea of stopping my progress so early into the comeback.
