19 miles ish = good ish

Did my 19 mile run this morning; which I felt quite pleased about in itself.

Run was mainly 'good':

1. Felt physically strong - apart from 'wounded knee' (see below)


2. Took gel on board before I 'bonked' this time


3. Had 4 pieces of toast with jam and marmite for breakfast which seemed to provide more sustenance than cereal I had last time out


4. Weather for early part of run was less than pleasant wind and 2 hail storms (sore ears but makes the run more 'fun')


5. Shoes are very comfortable - Walsh's are great

Left knee was only negative. Sore from about 14/15 miles out. Not a great deal of pain - more annoying but still sore when walking downhill when I popped out for a short walk with Julie just now.

The only times I have had a sore knee when running before is on South Devon Coastal Marathon last year and year before (the only two times I have done, and will be doing, that run...). I can not remember whether it was the same knee or even if it is the same knee that I twisted when I tried Mountain Boarding (not my most successful sporting endeavour!).

Anyway, generally positive.

(P.S. Must find out how Anthony is doing in his training for London Marathon.)
