It was with a slight sense of trepidation, but my knee has not been hurting of late, so I hit the streets today for my first run for 2 months.
On the whole, the knee felt fine, although I was conscious that I was monitoring it all the time. At about the 2K point I felt a twinge so looped round the B&Q roundabout and headed for home – figuring that 4K would be a good outing and I didn’t want to risk a relapse.
I hit 4K near Strode pool, so kept going for a bit longer to make it a 5Km run. Ended up with a time of 25.11 for the 5Km – not too bad given how long its been, but it wasn’t a walk in the park.
10 hours later, knee is still holding up, no pain, which is good. Good to be back on the road again – reckon I’ll look at running a 5k a week for the next six weeks or so.
