Rollercoaster Ride..

After a nice easy week I was hoping for a weekend where I steadily covered 20 miles, admittedly split into a 6 and a 14.

Saturday I did the 6, averaging 8:20 min/miles and everything felt good.
Today headed off for the 14 miles. After only three or so miles the off swollen sensation in the back of my left knee was back. It has had a week off but now seems determined to rear it's head. As I tried to run through it the pain in the front of my knee started.

I tried to keep going but partly because I was running on my own and so there was less impoteous to keep going but mainly because the first three days of the week before Wokingham were spent trying not to bear weight unneccesarily and alos on ibuprofen I stopped at 5.5 miles.

Of course at this point I was in Shirehampton and so I disconsolately ran/walked back in the cold and rain, a rather sad and dejected figure.

Still I seem to be having one good week followed by one bad week. I havent yet determined how this will work out marathon wise, I hardly dare look!

I was hoping to have another easy week - something like a 5/6/slow6/rest/rest/rest/Bath Half - but event those shortish runs at the beginning of the week may be in doubt.

Who knows what is going to happen next on this rollercoaster ride?!
