Great run but sore knees
Did a great run tonight - set myself a goal of 9K on my Nike+ and managed 11K without too much effort. Really feeling the benefit of regular sessions now - it seems to get easier each time.
The only problem I am facing at the moment is my knees have been a bit tender for the last few days. I originally put it down to football on the astro turf but now I think it may be the running. I quickly googled it and found various suggestions. I tried lying on my front before the run and kicking my butt with each leg individually. Doing this 60 times for each butt cheek seemed to loosen my knees off. I could occasionally feel them twinge during the run but nothing too bad. I’ll wait and see over the next 24 hours.
I am also going to start taking cod liver oil tablets just in case - they are very good for your joints apparently. I don’t want to turn into a crotchety old bastard by the age of 40 so I am taking this seriously.
Cheers, M
