Walk up and back to Ruchweid (from where we parked part way up the hill) to watch the most hilarious ski racing- the skis were made from the curved wooden slats from wine barrels so noone had any control, the1 m high jump produced some particuarly spectaculat crashes.
Gloriously happy run :) Ran from Wangen to Galgen (flat with some uphill at the end) and had no pain or even stiffness from my knee tendon. Running felt reasonably natural although slow. I had some pain in my left knee from ITB tightness.. Right ITB also sore from hard rolling yesterday.
It was so warm that I after 5 minutes I was down to my singlet and shorts, feeling indecently naked after a winter of layers. Lots of singing birds, little snow drop flowers in the fields and a day of preparing our garden :)
Attempted run, knee felt stiff and a little sore- a few weeks ago I would have kept running to my planned time but i have to stick to what feels natural.

Balancing practice with th eaid of several channenging contraptions at the physio.
The physio massaged the sore spot on the tendon (only found when knee is bent) which I have always avoided touching. This seemed to make my knee feel alot freer in the following days. She also put a fancy bit of tape over the area to increase blood flow. At home I read a good article about MCL ligament lingering pains and scar tissue.
morning stretches/mobility. knee felt ok, though decided not to run as I could still feel it overnight.
