When I injured my knee on 3rd of Jan, I think I did it quite a bit of damage. It hurt a lot, for some time, and for the last week of the hols I did no exercise and walked with a definite limp.
As time went on, it slowly improved – I found that it tended to feel better after swimming and I was able to referee a couple of football games, although on the first Thursday back at school it hurt like hell, a combination, I think, of refereeing the day before followed by going up and down stairs whilst on duty in Walton.
Anyway, its been getting better so I thought I would hit the road today and go for a shortish run.
Nearly turned back as soon as I got down the hill – it hurt – but the pain eased and I ran to the B&Q roundabout and back. Glad I ran, the knee hurt at times, although feels fine know. The real indicator will be how it feels later today.
The run itself wasn’t easy, either. Amazing how quickly your fitness drops off.
But at least I’m back in the saddle ….
