Been nursing a slightly grumbly knee for a while, but it’s generally been fine if I don’t stray far beyond 10k.
Found myself on a lane in the middle of nowhere today, about the furthest point from home, when it finally gave up. Slight grumble became full on pain, and when I walked for a bit I found I just couldn’t run again.
Rescue call put in and other half drove out to pick me up (with kids in tow). Youngest offered to put me in the recovery position - he learnt first aid at Beavers recently 😀
The good news is I probably needed something like this to push me to get it sorted. Physio booked for next week so hopefully a temporary setback. Should definitely have got it looked at earlier 😀

Thanks. Person I’m going to comes highly recommended so I’m hopeful. I’ve had knee pain before and I can usually run again a few days later but common sense has prevailed. Will keep happening if I don’t get it looked at properly 😀
Thanks. It’s definitely a lesson in getting things looked at early. I know from past experience I can probably still do 5k regularly with no fuss but if I don’t get it looked at I’m not going much further.
