Knee Problems Pal

That is supposed to be a pun. As in "Nae problems pal".



Doesn't work does it?



The reason for the pun is that after the 8km run, my knees were NOT knackered! Don't know what the difference was/is, but I wasn't sore at all. I was overheating either through lack of fluids or simply as I had a thick cotton t-shirt on in humidish weather, but otherwise 8km was knee bother.



Oh come on, it's still not working for you?



How about this: this is a half marathon distance. This is where I should be in the original schedule. If we ignore the 6 week (minimum) gap in the training then I'm a living deity. If I can manage the distance. I'm doing it tomorrow afternoon, rain or shine. I've even bought some energy gels to give me a boost along the way. I'll bet my knee hurts on Wednesday.



In other news, I'm off the booze until St Andrew's day. Going to Seattle 27th Nov - 1st Dec, St Andrew is the day after the race, although I'll probably have a beer on the 29th if I can lift my arms.



Well done to Marsha who finished the NYC marathon this weekend. No news on the time/condition of Ruskie knees, but no doubt a solid effort by a top young lady.



Here's the run, half now, half later, see what happens.

No Snickering.
