Getting Better... I think!!
I just don't know where this month's going... I can't believe it's Christmas a fortnight today!! I am surprisingly organised this year though so- bring it on!!
The knee- well, a couple of weeks ago it got worse- I don't know whether it was due to walking 3 miles into Nottingham and then home, and then a further 3 miles later that day or whether it was because I bent it too far back that night getting into bed which caused sudden and excruciating pain. But when I woke up the next day the whole of the knee cap area was painful and the knee was very 'clicky' for a couple of days.
Cursing this fresh set back I rested it for a week and then since then I have been building up verrrryyy slooowwlyy... apart from a slight tenderness if I bend the leg back too much it- touch wood- feels much better. Wednesday night I went for a 5 mile walk/ run and Friday night I went to the gym and did some treadmill work for the first time in ages- so far so good! I am going to take it very easy though- oh I have already entered the Belvoir Challenge for next year as it gets full very quickly.
Rich successfully completed the Racing the Planet Nepal Race, and it sounds like the most amazing experience- he is writing his race report on his blog.
I hope everyone has a great week!
