After having only done two walk jog sessions last week I headed out on my own this week to gauge how my knee is holding up. Tuesday I managed a little under 3km (which was my intended distance, however I ran into Sarah just before the end of my session - turns out that tunnel thing under the freeway heads into the shiny council building...). It felt sluggish, but as is usually the case, was actually the fastest I've run that distance all year (go figure).
I headed out again today and ran 4.75km cleanly without any issues (although not having run properly for any great distance since the beginning of April means that my lungs are still re-adjusting and I probably sound more like a train than usual).
Will try my luck with a long(er) run on the weekend... still aiming for anything over 5k! But it's been a good week so far, and perhaps sticking to only 3 days a week will help keep some of those issues at bay. I may not be ready for the Gold Coast Half, but perhaps can still pull it all together for the Noosa Half in August (which also has the added benefit of being a month after KC2008 so I won't by trying to squish too much into a few weeks).
