Well, all seems to be back to normal with my knee and training has resumed full pace. Happy days all round! :-)
Gentle run on Monday followed by gym session last night. Another road run tonight to look forward to. Then i can start working on increasing the distances I'm covering. 2miles is where I'm hitting a limit at the moment. Will try to get that up to 3 miles by the weekend.
Well, i can aim for that anyway!

First night back out running around Eastrington Nature Reserve since my injury and it was pretty good to be honest. 2.03 miles in just over 20 mins. Not bad for someone who just 5 weeks ago couldn't run any distance at all.
One thing though, i will have to buy another pair of running shoes for outdoor training. The ones I've got are now a little muddy and will have to be cleaned before i go back to the gym tomorrow!! Or they might complain about me!

Well, it's taken a couple of weeks but my knee seems to be better. I spent the day walking around Bridlington yesterday with the family and it didn't twinge once, so it's back to the gym tonight and back into training. Finally!

So it has been a bad week for me so far. After the 5k run I did last sunday, my knee has been hurting pretty bad. I've been to the gym twice to try and run it off but yesterday was not very nice. Some nurofen had helped with it's anti inflammatory properties but it has been a stark reminder that I have a long way to go and I must be sensible in how I get there.
Walk before I can run!
Anyway, it will be Sunday before I am back at the gym but think I will try a light walk tonight around the village to see how my knee holds up. From all the advice I can see on the net, this is just a temporary thing called 'runners knee' but I still have to be careful!
