Who would have thought it.....

I got up this morning and the back of my knee / top of calf was hurting and I had had a day of rest yesterday, so don't think it had anything to do with running ....... was so miffed as I was hoping all day that my leg would feel better as I had my gym bag all ready in the car to run straight after work. Who would have thought 4 wks ago that I would be upset that I was missing a run !!

It's so funny how quickly we learn to love running and hate it when we miss a run. But as someone said "its a marathon not a sprint", so if you muscles are telling you to rest then heed that good advice.

Tortoise and the hare scenario, defiantly good advice

At least you were sensible and listened to your body...

My problem is how long to I rest when I am not feeling the pain! and do I go back to the last run rather than moving on?

I know; we've all turned into running nutters!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery x

I've always been a bit of a nutter so running nutter sounds like me. Thank you for the well wishes :D
