Week 7 completed ... but ...

[makmurthly]

Yesterday I was meant to be joining a friend to do w7r3 at the local parkrun, before heading off to take my Saturday morning dog training class. Woke up to a text from friend - "unwell", pouring with rain and knee sore as h**l. So although not bothering seemed like the better idea, I took a couple of painkillers and headed off early up my much softer forest route, got soaked to the skin, completed my 25 minutes rather slowly and had time to go home and get changed into dry clothes before heading off to training.

The 'but' is my knee, which bothered me in week 3 but got much better with knee support exercises. So close to the finish now and I really don't want to stop, but may need a break to allow for some recovery. How did this running business become so addictive?.

Maybe you should take an extra rest day or two to give your knee a break. I did this for my foot/leg which was feeling a bit sore and almost like it was bruised. It wasn't getting any worse through running but it wasn't getting any better. I had a weekend off and it improved a lot.

Hope you can recover soon. It is definitely addictive you're right! Best to listen to your body.........
