Tough one this morning

I only managed 24 minutes this morning, I had a small issue at the lower aspect of my left knee, which I noticed about 10 hours after my last run. ( which had been my favourite run so far).

Yesterday at work I was aware of it, but it is vague, not even able to describe it as a pain. It wasn't noticeable when did my 5 minute walk, but I felt it once I started running.

I really wanted to do the 30 minutes, but just couldn't push myself to finish.

Once I checked my max speed I noticed that I had gone 0.4 kmph faster than my last run, (not intentionally) so maybe it was that.

This is the first time I have not completed a run, so I will try not to give myself a hard time. Disappointed though 😶😐

Oh! So sorry that you had to cut your run short, but you have completed so much already so lots of success to hold on to. Do hope that your knee settles down quickly. All the best with your next run whenever it is.

Thank you 61..

I do appreciate that, and I realise that all runs are different, I think the knee is just a niggle, next run planned for Tuesday, I will consciously go at a nice slow pace.

The support for everyone is great here, we all need it from time to time. 🤗
