An Injury Shared

Biceps is still tender but it's getting there i hope, and not nearly as bad as it was.  I got more concerned about my right knee.  I ran a half marathon last weekend, which i was really pleased about and in a pretty good time considering it was the furthest i had run for nearly 8 months.  Stupidly i then ran 5 miles 2 days later - i should have left it longer or at least not tried to push the 5 miles as much. I ended up with this really stiff and sore knee.  Trouble is every time i get something like that i go into a black gloom and assume that i will never walk/run/swim/climb again.  Just not very good at obeying my own rules i guess.  Anyway, its less sore today and i reckon i'll be back out by sunday, but not another 13 miles!

Sorry to hear about your shoulder Doug, I hope it starts to improve. My physio rarely recommends complete rest, but it's a case of knowing what's going to help and what's going to hinder.

Less gloomy as the right knee pain passed and i ran a sensibly paced and comfortable 8 miles at the weekend. No idea what that was all about.
