Running Week In Review Part 13...Unlucky 13

Last Week's Distance: 80.00km
*This Week's Distance: 85.00km

*New World Record. At a cost.


This week was going great, until Friday when I could feel my knee acting up. It's such a good actor, it decided to take up a full time role, and therefore, it's been hurting ever since. So naturally, I'm a little concerned. This has affected my training because I haven't been able to run for a couple of days. I know I have to take the time off to recover or else I could risk a big time injury, which could prevent me from running the marathon.

I'm still fairly optimistic about the race, but not as much now that I'm hurt. I will do everything in my power to run the marathon, but I will draw the line when it comes to my long term health of my knee. This is a setback, but I should be able to get through this as long I play it smart. The rest is up to my knee, hopefully it decides to cooperate.

Next Week’s Prediction: 40km (easy recovery runs)

Stan,
Hope your knee gets better in time for the marathon. Take it easy and rest. You can do it...i know you can.

You're just setting us up for the big dramatic victory of the finish line.
If your knee is a good actor, you're an even better scriptwriter.
i can't wait to see how this ends!
