Had another appointment with the physio last night. My knee has improved no end over the last few days.
He's given me a rather curious exercise to do, involving standing on one leg (the bad one) and pulling on a piece of rubber tied to a door handle. I'm sure it would look very strange if someone saw me doing it.
I've also got to do more walking as a build up to next Thursday when I can give running a try!
Just a W1R1 run but it's a start at least, and if it goes well and the knee holds up I'll hopefully be able to properly get back into the swing of things.

Woohoooo that is fabulous news. you should try kt tape too for your ankle whilst you run it may help, a lot of sports men and women use it. It's quite expensive though. I'm going to invest in some. Plus drink some recovery shake after running to help repair muscles sis rego recovery shake is good and doesn't taste too bad.
ooppps so sorry, your knee, I am still in the clouds after that run. ha ha I do apologise.
Blimey how much are you thinking of drinking after a run it is only 180 kcal for 50g sachet or three scopes. Although if you are already drinking something that is helping then I would stick with it.
Myfitnesspal is good for calculating your kcal intake everyday, I manage to be under most days and on my run days too after a recovery shake and energy bar
This keep fit lark isn't easy. Too much temptation in the way most days
