P****d off

[Polly2810]

Well I ran on Tuesday...25 mins, felt ok at the time, but knee had been twingey since, so have left it. Am thinking of trying a shorter one tomorrow as per advice on here. I feel totally peed off that was going so well then a bloody wave 🌊 got the better of me!!!! Fed up and don’t know where to start! On a positive note though did get Mr P on the treadmill on Weds for wk1!!! Hoping if he gets into it we could get out there and I could build my knee up gradually again!! Whinge over, feel better now...just feeling sorry for myself. 🤣

Ah bless you. I know how hard that enforced spell on the injury couch can be. Just take it carefully and get better soon x

I know I must but it’s such a lovely day!!! 😡😡😡

Must be the name - my knees a bit twingey too. Look after it - better to slow down now than be out for ages. Good luck.

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to pollyp1]

Yeah must be a pollyism!! 😂

After a knee niggle myself, I found these exercises helped, I usually do them the day after a run (you need a miniband for some of the exercises)

So frustrating! I panic now if I can’t run as I know how hard it’s been to get my fitness up! But you don’t want to make your knee worse....

ooof you're allowed to feel sorry for yourself - hope it's ok soon! Bit of walking today maybe? Great that you've got a new recruit though!

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to icklegui]

Yeah remains to be seen if he actually carries it on though!!!

I hate the f....g , p...g injury couch, it's so damned frustrating, but glad to see you're back out there. Well done missus... knees so damned useful and you feel so hopeless when they go and twinge...

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I know.! Grrrrr, was about to go get new shoes too...bloody knee!! Slow and sure, listen to the leg yada yada yada!!

Sorry to hear that Polly, don't be too down, you will be back running soon and you will have Mr P with you. 😁

Don't run through pain.. it is hard not to get frustrated..but, the runs will still be there

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I know old floss just makes me so sad 😞
