back and running...

A nice 36 minute run around Chatswood yesterday to test the knee out. Supposed to be at the knee specialist this morning after waiting for 2 weeks and he was sick!! Just what I need. Anyway it seems to be on the improve and will run again today and perhaps for longer.

injured...mysterious.

well more than 10 days out now, with a severe pain behind the knee, which has yet to be diagnosed. Am itching to run, have been doing all the physio exercises even 1k kickboard in the pool on Saturday. Waking up very sore. I think it is time for an MRI, to find out the real cause.
