Another split shift at work with 4 hours to fill in time, so an opportunity to get out on a nice day. After yesterday's run I managed to get a sore right knee just under the kneecap. I got out my trusty books on injury prevention and management to find several reasons for the problem.
It could have been just doing too much, not likely me overdoing it, it could have been the running mechanics, no, would have shown up before. So I decided it was the last suggestion, old shoes past their used by date. Yep, out they went this morning, no problem today in different shoes. I still have 3 other pairs in rotation so that problem won't happen again.
Today on a mild day instead of cool, an easy run out and back near the river going past Tuggie creek, then over the rolling hills behind Urambi, past the kookaburra gate to turn around at a gate at Red Rocks Gorge. A slight higher track coming back, where the surface is more grassy than soft sand making it a bit slower even with a NW wind when blowing.
Nice day out there today at midday, warmest winter day this year, really good. I should go into the gym at work as well, but why waste a time inside. That's rainy day stuff.
Rest day tomorrow with Bush Capital 25km on Sat and vet's handicap on Sunday. Plenty happening.
