Icing my knee

Well, it’s been too long with no running-related injuries, so I’m home today icing my knee.  grumble grumble grumble. Knee started hurting on Thursday, and hasn’t gotten much better since then.  I spent most of yesterday resting and icing my knee, which helped somewhat.

Training last week was as follows:

  • Monday - Weightlifting @ gym
  • Tuesday -  Hill repeats (done on gym treadmill)
  • Wednesday - Weightlifting @ gym
  • Thursday - Tempo intervals
  • Friday - Rest
  • Saturday - 16 mile trail run at Clinton Lake
  • Sunday - 2 mile recovery walk
