Well 10 miles plus is obviously too much for my rubbish knees at the moment. After last week, the knee got worse and I was really suffering of Sunday. Monday I was struggling up stairs, but by Tues it was getting better. Nearly went out on Weds, but did do a 3 miler on Thurs afternoon, and it was fine. Took the opportunity to run on Friday, Sat and then a slightly bigger one on Sunday – 6 miles.
Been reading up a bit, and I need to work on my “core”. Which seems to be large and flabby but weak – lots of places tell you to do it, but few tell you how.
Anyway, run today was okay, some pain at the end, but tried to keep it at a reasonable speed, and did try to use by thigh to help my knee – not very successfully. Have also found that switching off the “high accuracy” on my phone creates a slightly better gps track – not great, but better, so after counting the quids in the year jar, I have plenty in there to slash out on a gps watch – now I just need to decide which one, an Ambit or a Garmin?
Went to have a look at Greenfield House this week, great school with it, but the house itself is probably a little small, and would need about 50K spent on it. As the house is reasonbly expensive, it currently doesn’t look worth while – but we’ll have a look at their accounts and see.
Just waiting for Tesco’s to come, then off the the Monmouth food festival – which means we have to spend money to get in – that annoys me! ;o)
