Not a lot to report this past month - no competitive running. Went thru' a good phase of recovery, slowly building up my running. No real issues with my knee until a couple of long 2 hour runs (24ks). Also backing up on the Wednesday for an hour to 75 min run after a Tues speed session finally got to me. Took last weekend off including 2 days either side. Tenz & I ran 13ks round the UQ loop yesterday. My right knee/ ITB just has a marginal discomfort to it - don't feel like my running gait is as smooth & relaxed as it should be. (The left leg feels fine & wants extra work...).
Pushed myself at this month's 3kTT & finished in 10.22 (5.10 half-way). Was surprised, had hoped to go under 10.15 but really haven't been doing any of the fast stuff.
Running weather has been tough this last month. Early morning starts have been consistently around the 5 degree mark. Looking forward to Magnetic & Hinchinbrook Islands, heading up Friday week so will miss the Noosa half marathon. Hopefully will have my feet up in front of the tele on the 24th to watch the Olympic marathon.
