Jog Around The Park - Worrying Consequences
Von Smallhaussen is still doing her running club thing, so on Saturday morning I dragged my backside out of bed to accompany her to the local park. We did three laps at an easy run / walk, meeting up with Scary-But-Nice-Val (a.k.a. "Put-Some-F**king-Effort-In"-Val) and her dog half way through. I did the final lap at a somewhat tougher pace - about 6:00/mile bursts for two minutes, with a minute’s recovery between each.
After getting home, my left knee was distinctly sore - the sort of pain I had before the Ironman at the top of the patella ligament. So now I’m worried that I really have done something bad to my knee, and there’s a small matter of having to ride 120 miles that night on a bicycle that’s not really meant for that sort of distance - only brute force and ignorance is going to get us through . . .

I’m impressed, that’s twice i’ve got a mention. Thought I might share with you that I done my 5K Race for Life on Sunday, I managed to get round it in 33 minutes. (not sure if i put in enough effort)
