Since last run on Sunday, which ended up as a half run, have not got back into it due to knee pain. But today, it is feeling much better, so am going to give it a small test run.

Knee held out!! going to put some ice on it though just in case, but that is now wk8 r 1 done!! Did cheat and use the treadmill, but sometimes think that may be harder, as the same speed throughout. Main thing is, it held out and another run can be ticked off!
