Time to heal, my little friend

Taking two weeks off from running to let the knee heal, or at least let the inflammation subside.  I'm trying to do this right: Advil, ice, and strict avoidance of running for a defined period.  Alternative activities to keep me sane (see below).

Looking forward to a long weekend at home with visiting family.
