Wish me luck

I'm going out tomorrow morning for a slow steady run to test out the knee. I haven't run for a week and haven't suffered any pain or discomfort so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If all goes well it's a long(ish) run on Sunday. If all goes badly then it's goodbye to the HM next week. Hopefully it will go well.....🤔

I hope it does go well for you tomorrow Pete1w, I wish you well, hope you can run that HM next week, just run slowly to make sure that you don't have any discomfort.

Run finished and the knee is holding up ok. My brain, however is a different story. I'm running and just waiting for the injury to flare up again. I'll try a long run on Sunday and see how it feels. The HM is still a possibility next week

Really glad the run went well. Good luck for Sunday, I hope this reassures you.

[Pete1w in reply to O505k]

Thanks. The real test will be the final long run. If I suffer any knee pain I'm not going to attempt the race next week. But I'm thinking positive thoughts and I'm sure it will be fine

Good luck pete take it real steady 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Pete1w in reply to homlyme]

Steady is not something I'm good at which I think is the problem. I've over trained. Gone too far, too fast. It's a lesson I won't forget in a hurry.

[Pete1w in reply to GeorgiosA]

Thanks. I will. Hopefully next Sunday I will be very tired but very happy....

Status update. I'm 99% sure the HM will not be happening. I walked to work this afternoon and felt a really sharp pain in my left knee. It appears that 1 weeks rest and gentle physio wasn't enough time to recover. I'll try a couple of short slow runs this week but I really can't see me running the half.😒😒 Thanks for all the support and there's always next year

Fingers crossed!
