So after the week off, I wanted to take it easy this week, to ease myself back in. Decided to start using the second pair of trainers, as the first ones have done about 300+ miles now, and I naively thought that might make my knee better…
It seems it didn’t. Went out on Tues/Weds/Friday for two 3’s and a 5 and everything seemed fine. We also went for a wet and windy and muddy “hike” on Sat around Tintern to the Devils Pulpit and over to Brockweir – a pretty good walk, but slightly slippery. In total about 6.5 miles, but had a little beer stop off at about 4.5 – which was nice, a little pub with an open fire.
Just back from my “long run” for the week, and I had to walk the last half mile or so because my stupid knee was hurting again. I could have kept running but I really don’t want to break it as much as last time – so only managed about 6 miles, hopeless.
Things are looking decidedly not rosy at the moment, so I will have to do some research on how to get things better if possible. Oddly before Christmas it was my right knee which was exactly the same, and that seems fine now – I can only hope some magic will happen and we’ll be right.
