Given that I walked about 38 kilometres on Monday I piked on my running training this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. I actually wasn't all that sore, just tired, so it wasn't a particularly good excuse.
But on Thursday I headed out at lunch for a jog/walk session with Kirit (from work -> despite being on a health kick at the moment he still smokes too much to be able to run continuously for even a few kilometres). He's just signed up for one of those gym personal trainer gigs and decided he needed some new clothes for the gym (apparently it's important to look the part... whatever) so we jogged/walked from Eagle St through the gardens and along the river to Queen St in about 20 minutes. I then turned around and ran the same way back in 12.25 without any protesting from my knee.
Given that Thursday's run went well, I headed out on Friday but elected just to do a short loop (about 3km). Knee = mostly ok.
And today? The knee's been holding up ok over the last few days so my plan was to think "long run" and just see how it went when I was out there, but about 3km in I was noticing some twinginess so headed on home making it only a 3.75km run. I guess that means more stretching and exercises for me :(
