The Day Before

My knee hurts - not when I'm running, just going up and down stairs. It's the IT band problem again and I'd hoped it had gone away. It'll be OK tomorrow then I won't run for a week or so and let it get better, but I don't want to leave it too long. I'll stretch and so on and hope for the best.

Also I've discovered I'm in the green band of runners which is the slowest lot. Hmm. It's hurtful to the ego to know you're setting off at the back of everyone. I will try and not be right at the back. I know there'll be lots of other people running at te same sort of time and I won't let it bother me.
But, grrrr.

It will be over this time tomorrow - 11am. Looking forward to that bit. NOT looking forward to the getting there and back. Boyf wants to walk down - about 2 miles?? Really don't want to have to walk that far before starting and, more to the point, walk all the way back afterwards - and it's mostly uphill. I would drive, but the car was nicked at easter and we still haven't got it back.

So, baked spuds tonight, no wine, beer, sherry until a massive Sunday lunch tomorrow. Bring it on

Good luck all you green runners!
