I waited over a week before attempting to run again because of how my knee felt after running last Thursday. My knee hurt until Sunday, and even walking around at the beginning of this week I felt like there was some sort of inherent instability (although I could just be imagining things because I am paranoid, and worried that I messed up my meniscus when it is likely just a bone bruise). As a result I waited to try to run at all until today. I ended up only running a little over a mile, running about a half mile at a time (about 4-5 minutes) just to be safe. I didn't feel any pain after the very short run, which is good, although my knees still feel a little weird at times when I go up stairs or if I lock my knees during walking.
