WHY

Today I noticed that my knee felt like it had done more work than it really had, meaning there was some discomfort, but the feeling was similar to a BIG week, but of course I haven't had a big week this year.

I met my squad at 5pm at Riverbend, 27 kids and a few parents running too, we started off with 850m w/up, all was good, no discomfort. We then did some stretching and then jogged about 500m to my starting point. 6x1min on, 20 sec off before then running along various river trails, crossing the river etc a couple of times. Finished with some stretching and then 2x1 min planks for the group (too much for some of the kids, but 6 did both sets perfectly).

As I was cooling down I noticed the discomfort was returning and by the time I got home my knee was swollen and uncomfortable, not sore, but uncomfortable....iced and elevation.

Oh good, at least I'm not the only one suffering with knee problems....

If it's not one thing, it's something else for me.

Hope it clears up soon Stu
