Sunday 2.00pm (21 O C) 22KM 2 X Roo+Lake 84m40s

I had 'felt' my knees earlier today running to collect the ball during Maxy's Soccer game this morning, but started out today and the right knee felt remarkably better. Also the left knee was not displaying the all over pain I have been suffering but just the secondary pain area to a defined side(LH) of the knee cap. Could be a freak lull but made me have some optimism that;
A. I will be able to race and compete at the C2S.
B. Might not require the extended period off I've envisioned.
So today ran with some discomfort in the left knee the whole way but was please with the way I was moving. In windy conditions I ran through half way in 43Mins and completed the second lap in a shade under 42Mins which is good going.
Afterwards I dipped my legs in pool for 5/10mins - bloody cold 15 O C!
Even so my knees did seize up afterwards so got back out and walked the dog.

The European Masters Track and Field Champs are currently taking place in Slovenia. Of course I was interested in the M45 results for 1500m, 5000m and 10,000m;
