W7R2....and it's all about "Uh Oh....."

Well, I'm typing this with one hand and holding an ice bag on my knee with the other. (Insert wry smile here.) The run went ok...I'm running solidly at 12:30/mile, but it's still a struggle, but I am noticing my point of dismay as to whether I can do this is moving further and further into the run...lol...kinda. Our humidity was horrendous (87%) and absolutely not a breath of air moving, but I soldiered on.

The plot thickened when I stopped at 25 minutes...my knee threatened to buckle right out from under me. O boy...!

So now I'm icing it, will take some ibuprofen...and see what happens on Wednesday.

Ouch! Sounds jolly painful! You seem to be doing exactly what I would do in the circumstances. It has worked for me so far! Plus lots of water. Take care and plod on :)

Keep it elevated Grammadog; plenty of ice. Poor thing, knees are nasty!
