The weird part about skating was my knee clicked when I walked on rubber
mat with skates on, but did not click when I skated. I should know when
I am ready, but I have a habit of pushing the envelope.

I had arthroscopy on my right knee years ago, but strangely it's my
*left* knee that bothers me. When I run around the athletic fields and
do much lateral work my left knee really starts to bother me. So now,
when it starts to hurt, I stop! And what's really great is that
neither of my knees bother me at all when I'm skiing. I read a book
about a distance runner that put away his mileage book and chronometer
and just started to run according to how his body felt. He said his
body ended up feeling much better than before, and when it came to
racing his times improved. For this to be effective though,k I think
you need work out enough to where you really get in tune with what your
body is telling you - and listen to it.
