No running for two weeks. I decided to give my knee a proper rest and I've also been fighting off a cold. So far the long arm of a winter flu hasn't managed to grab me properly "knock the wood", but it is trying its' best. There's been sneezes and coughs and I've spent one day on a sofa doing NOTHING.
I haven't been a complete lazy bone though, I did some spinning and combat earlier in the week. Yesterday I was feeling better and it was time to braze the storm and go for a run. First half an hour was great despite the rain. After that, the pain struck again and this time it was worse than before. I actually had to stop running, walk and let the pain ease. Journey home took a long time as I was only able to run for 50 m, walk 100 m and so on. I'm really annoyed and frustrated, as I feel I'm fit enough to start training properly, yet this knee problem is holding me back. I'm going to see a sports massage therapist tomorrow. She sounded very promising over the phone and I'm really hoping she can do something to help me.
km's for this week: 9.2.
