So I managed to get up this morning for my run and the goal was to finish a round-the-estate 6km route.
All I can say is running in the morning is near enough impossible when:
1. You haven't got any fuel.
2. You forget to down a good amount of water before you set off.
3. You suffer from a wobbly knee condition and you haven't gotten your in-soles made yet.
Ended up slowing down and doing some strengthening and stability exercises instead before a walk/run home. The total distance couldn't have been longer than 3km but I figured it wasn't worth pushing and hurting myself more.
I sure wish I'd trained up better for that half marathon. It makes me wonder if I'd still be facing this problem and suffering through this injury. Sometimes it makes me think I'm just using it as an excuse for a lot of things, but then I set off with full intent to whip myself into shape and the little joint down there just goes 'nooooooooooooo'.
Lesson du jour: It's not always about training hard, but training smart.
Sigh.
