As well as my sore knee, as per my previous post I had the mother of all colds (still sporting a seasonal red nose) and ended up having a day at home on Wednesday. Lack of running and feeling ill did not suit my mood and I was an irritable cow bag pretty much all day. I needed to get out!! To cheer me up, Lee presented me with a new pair of Adidas leggings so it was only fitting that I test them out- just a gentle jog to the local Indian to pick up a take away- you are supposed to feed a cold remember! It was so good just to get my trainers on again and my knee felt ok.
Despite still feeling run down yesterday, I wrapped up after work and headed out at a gentle pace, again just to test myself and see how it felt. Again, all was good.
Next week will involve a few more short runs ready for the 14th- Telford 10k. What was going to be a pb attempt will now be a steady run, frustrating but I need to remember the long term goal and just keep building the miles slowly.
Onwards and upwards!
