to lacing up the old faithfuls. I thought I would be OK to go out yesterday but still slight pain in quad, so no way am I risking it. Can go up steps now without pain or taking one at a time!Have been doing squats, lunges, knee dips and been on here more than usual! This is turning out to be the longest 9 weeks ever, in fact the challenge now is getting round the park and running for 30 minutes, the weeks have become unimportant!!

My next blog will be a run!!!!

I'll be waiting to read it but you're right not to push it.

Thanks both, feels like my knee is going to give out. Just ran on the spot, not quite right yet.

You're doing the right thing, Susie - it will be even longer if you go out before you're ready. Easy to say, I know, but the roads will still be out there when your knee is better. All the best for your next run,

Annie
