I'm back!!!!  After a month of recovery from knee surgery, I was able to put in just short of 5 miles yesterday at 7% incline.  Overall, my knee felt good, but I can tell that I lost a significant portion of what I had gained prior to surgery.

I have no doubt that this will drastically speed my recovery time.  2 years ago, when I had surgery on meniscus in right knee, my recovery was long and painful with several months of PT.  I definitely do not need PT this time around and I credit a large portion of this due to my fitness level just prior to surgery.

More to come...
