8km on nice track beside the River Wye after Kath Macmillan's wedding. Knee fine on the flat, particularly running at Tessa pace and in forefoot striking inov8s. We then climbed up to Symonds Yat to watch Kath and Rob climb the pinnacle in their wedding garb - knee didn't like that so much but it was worth it for the photos of the bride on top of the rock!
Long drive home - suspect some of my knee problem is due to too much time in the car recently (hamstrings shortened etc.).

Managed 4 minutes of proper running before knee became uncomfortable again. Sacked it off and cheered on Tessa in the Worcester ParkRun instead.

Running feels weird.

Evening faff. Sitting on a spinning bike making the pedals go round while watching HIGNFY and Buzzcocks on phone. Didn't break sweat. Cross "training" sucks - knee feels fine so back to the miles tomorrow.

Lunchtime faff. 10 min warm up then 20x45/15 on spinning bike. 10 min core & upper body to finish.
Knee improving fairly well. I think I'll be running by the end of the week and back to normal next week - but still keeping an eye on it.

Patella tendonitis :( too much racing, particularly downhill, says Kim.

Day off today then start cross training tomorrow.

Knee a bit sore again. Time for new shoes I think. And fewer single leg squats.
