good P.A. Hospital - Cornwall St Loop 5.29 km
Felt so lethargic and stagnant after waking up this morning, felt it was worth heading out for a run to get the blood flowing again. Wore my shoes to see if it's easier on my knee. Found keep... read more

Esko couldn't go to sleep tonight and asked if we could go for a little run at 19:30. Perfect solution - I've been itching for it too, so we ran most of the way, with a few fun distracti... read more

Morning barefooter. Loved being back out, 7 degrees was a bit chilly on the toots, but not enough to put me off. The last k was a hard to get through, a lot of endurance to get back, but it might... read more

Get Better:
Holy crap Ben! Hope you get better mate! Maybe you should postpone the run for the Brisbane Running Festival in August instead? Gives you time to recover and get back to training?

Thanks Liz! I'll wait for my knee to heal up before making any plans - but is a good idea. I mean Pag.

good Around the block 1.85 km 00:09:15 08:02 pace
A midnight run to test my knee, and burn off a bit of anxiety. Couldn't get back to sleep after falling asleep putting my 4 yr old to bed at 8:00.
On the good side, my knee didn't really... read more-
hey you're back! At midnight no less! Just take it easy tiger! Sounds like you're chomping at the bit! However, think of the knees! Glad to see you about though!

Thanks giselle! Knee's feeling it a little today, think I'll just have to take it easy leading up to half marathon and think long term rather than busting it up just for one event. Was talking to a guy at work who used to play pro rugby, and he thinks my knee injury could be bruised meniscus which does take a long time to heal. I more recently remember corking my knee when I stepped in a pot hole in the bush while orienteering. It must've taken a while to flare up. =(

Craig, saw this post on my Electric Miles app when I clicked on Nearby Entries! I have similar niggles with my knees! I don't run as fast as you, and I've had to slow down on my long runs due to the niggles. My tactic is slowing down particularly on the long runs, paying attention to my form, making sure I run tall/straight/upright, increase my cadence, and ice my knees if I go longer than 12kms. I've also started taking glucosamine tablets, just in case. Doing all of this have helped me somewhat.

Hey thanks for that! Def worth a try. What's the glucosamine meant to do?

Apparently, it's good for recovery, joint flexibility and mobility. It's preventative measures on my part! I've done some reading on runners world about it, and runners do use it quite a bit for this purpose. I figure every little bit helps!
