Not tonight dear.

After hurting my knees on Monday I thought I would be ready for tonight. But having done a fair bit of walking at work today I realised that tonight is not to be. Not so much pain now but they ache.

So a night in with a green tea and my book, oh and a quick blog, hope tomorrow brings a result, but will not push it as I want to graduate pain free.

Hope it went well for all of you today. :-):-)

Good decision. You'll want to hop, skip and jump at the end of 9.3 - have to ensure you're feeling 100%. Not long now :D Linda x

well done for listening to your body, it does pay, otherwise you end up with injuries that take weeks to heal.

An extra day or two rest will only make your muscles stronger for the next run ;-)

I have had a painful knee too, went for the kill or cure approach on Tuesday and was a little concerned after. But feeling lots better today so will run again on Friday.

I got told off by my daughter (a triathlete) and I knew I shouldn't have run but I seem to have got away with it now. It is so frustrating when your training is interrupted but we really must listen to our newly tuned bodies! Good luck x

Well done for making that decision. Like everyone else has said (and you know anyway!) it's the right thing to do. I hope you had a nice night in and that your next run is a great one :)
