Running 3:30:00 [3] 24.0 km (8:45 / km) +1000m 7:14 / km
Long run with J from Pass of Ballater up Tullich mast track, over to Morven lodge, loop up and round hill to north then back over to Pass of Ballater.
Some days you just don't have it, and this was one of them for me. Feeling pretty ropey from the start (2 consecutive nights of poor sleep) and considered turning straight for home once we got to ML. Sadly, I talked myself into doing the extra loop. The climb was fine (some good pole practice) but at the top my left knee started hurting quite badly (inflammation from yesterday's bruising). It only got worse from then and ended up a very slow painful hobble down the last hill. J kindly went ahead to bring the car to the track end for me.
Don't think it is going to be a long term problem with the knee, just need to get the inflammation down and rest it for a couple of days. Sleep-wise maybe need to avoid alcohol, and get to bed at a sensible time without work on my mind.
