Quinkin’s Blog: a place of running dreams come true

Patella femoral pain, knee physio, writing, photography, learning to swim.

Anything is possible

In this world

Icehouse

I did an hour on the exercise bike last night. 18.7 km. Without knee tape. I was pushing 19km for about 30 minutes, but my knee cap started to wobble so I slowed down.

Now I am up early because I couldn’t sleep, ready to go for a run.

I’ve just finished my run 8km on the hockey field. The spur winged Plovers attacked me on every single lap. I couldn’t concentrate on my running because I was so busy watching them as they dived bombed me again, again again and again.

I’m  a nature lover, but you wouldn’t have known it this morning. I wanted to wring the neck of those birds.

8km (5 miles) 42:40 (5:50, 5:28, 5:04, 5:05, 5:14, 5:08, 5:35, 5:15)

Harden up

The last day or so has been tough. My thoughts have been going into some pretty negative places. I seemed to snap out of it this afternoon.

I know I’ve survived the last few years. It has been anything but easy. Surviving is hard work.
