Run

I went for a run today but I didn't really feel like it but felt I had to. Just marked the route shown above out and realised it's only 2.6 miles. I couldn't even run half of it, there's a few rew reasons, mainly I'm unfit but I was tired after the first half mile because it was so muddy so I was weaving in and out of bushes and puddles. After this my knee started to give way, so decided I better walk a bit. My knee had given me problems Monday & Tuesday after my run last Sunday.

I damaged the ligaments in my knee a few years ago but they have been fine until the last 6 months. I think its because I've done hardly any exercise until recently. Gonna do some strength training to build my knees up. Used to have very strong legs but doesn't seam like I have anymore :-(

When I was walking a lass who's a couple of years younger than me ran past and said hello, thought about using her as a pace setter but thought it might appear weird if I suddenly start running after her. She was probably too fit anyway.

I would hope that within 2 weeks I can run all this without any problems at all. I wasn't out of breath or aching when I was stopping it was just because I could feel my knee was gonna give way.
