Well, I was all ready for a run at 10:30am, locked the door, tied the key onto my shoe lace, and the rain came down! Maybe its not a good idea to think too much in such situations, but I was still on the front porch and still dry at this stage. Decided that it wouldn't be fun to run a long way in the rain, and convinced myself that I didn't really to go out in the rain, so I untied the key, unlocked the door, came inside and replaced the running gear with frumping around the house gear. Instead of running, I made a christmas pudding and cleaned some kitchen fixtures. Walked into town later in the day, in the rain with a brolly.

First run in the last month where I have felt OK running. My knee didn't hurt too much (have been stretching and doing my VMO strengthening exercises). Went to Diamond Hill area from home, did a bit of bush running.

Walking commuting

A metro kind of run - along our street to Rosalind Park, then back to raid a mulberry tree on someone's nature strip on our way home.

Fast walk into town and home, for a job interview and a few other tasks. Offered the job later in the day.

After work ran along the creek and around lake Weeroona. This is my favourite route to run at this stage. Still very slow, with painful knees - must be more religious about doing my VMO exercises and stretching quads. I think its a patella tracking problem.

Commuting walking.
