Yikes Goofee, but glad outcome ok
luck with holding your temper LD!
Knee felt really quite good this morning, so headed out. Knee started to grumble fairly quickly, so gave up. Pfft.

Just got back from a 12 mile run in very warm sunshine.

Will have a cup of tea & some lunch & then "potter" in the garden.

Brilliant day here too, after a start in thick damp mist.

Goofee, glad all was well in the end, and hoping you can cope with an almost sleepless night.

Glad it was an all-clear in the end, Goofee. Hope you catch up on sleep this weekend.

Um and I are enduring opposite weather extremes. Freezing AND windy here so running is not going to be fun but I don't think I can bear the treadmill. I'll do some basic strength training in the gym then see if I can find enough face-wrapping to make running tolerable.

Going out on the bike later :-)

I have 2 job offers :-) I will be taking the London one rather than the local one for all sorts of reasons, which is a shame as I'd love to work close to home again, but it has become a fairly straightforward decision. Remind me of this when I'm ranting about how shite the commute is in about 7 months time :-)

Congratulations CStar!

I found that after about a week I didn't even notice the London commute, it all just sort of happened on auto-pilot, no actual thinking invloved.

Congratulations CStar :-) :-) :-)

A strange thing just happened. I took the dog out for a walk, but being dragged by over-enthusiastic labrador I started to jog. Noticed the knee wasn't sore, not even uncomfortable, just a little *there*. Wondered if it was because I wasn't wearing knee support (which I was this morning) - could it have made knee worse by rubbing tendon, so did the only sensible thing. Ran home, put knee support on, went back out. Knee was ok at first, started to mumble a little, so took support off. Didn't seem to make much difference, knee mumbled more, put support back on, didn't seem to make any difference again. Knee now a bit achy, but no worse than after this morning's (shorter and more walking-interspersed) run. Soooooo....did the knee support irritate the tendon, and once irritated, made no difference whether support on or off? Or was it because I was wearing different shoes? Or was it because I went out with no expectations/pressure to run this afternoon? Or is it just one of those inexplicable things?! Sorry. If I was a blogger, I'd've blogged all that not littering the thread with my nonsense! The only answer is, whenever knee is happier again, to go back out in trail shoes and without support and see what happens. All in the name of science, you understand!

Hurrah, Cstar! Lots of time to listen to Fetch podcast on your commute :)

Good luck in the new job.

Yumee..... no advice really beyond the obvious trial and error. oh, and patience ;)

BTW are you still in the EU then? Do I need a visa to come to Durham in April? Answers on twitter @Doesanyonehaveafuckingclue
