Going downhill

Last week was generally OK. Did a 5k (tues), 10k (wed) and a speed session (Run Club thurs), all of which were OK, though generally feeling a bit sore in the knee. I'll be happy when the tightness frees up a bit more.

Saturday morning at the CR5k challenge was great as always. I was a bit unsure about running at pb pace, so when CR Queen Bee asked for a pacer at 4:15, all of us starting at 21minutes leapt at it (maybe they - Ray (eagle), Wayne (JD) & Rob (Mr WT) - were all feeling blah too :-)). Anyhow, the run was fun, and even though Bee couldn't quite keep up the pace - we finished in 21:35, so we were 20 seconds behind plan - I felt plenty healthy and very comfortable. Once again my knee whinged on the way home. Breakfast was magnificent as always, made more so by the waitressing mix up that left me with two breakfasts. I didn't need lunch or arvo tea that day :-)

After such a good day, for some reason I just got the Blahs. Sunday morning I just rolled over and decided to run in the evening. In the evening I ate lots of chocolate decided to run Monday. Monday I rolled over again (and ate lots more chocolate in the evening). Finally this morning I turned over a new leaf, actually got out of bed on time and went for a 9k run at 5:10 pace. The good news is that my knee waited till after the 5k point before it got yucky; the bad news is that it didn't wait any longer :-(

Let's see what happens tomorrow...

p.s. Tiger Angel has picked up a sore throat from somewhere, so she's in an activity-free zone at the moment. Her only activity tomorrow is a trip to Dr Pain. Talk about a sucker for punishment :-)
