I'm well chuffed with my "long" run today. I got in 2.5 miles and walked for another 10 minutes up hill. I was planning on going till 60 minutes but a twinge in my hamstring and concerns on my knee stopped that. Its a fine line between training and over training.

Swim went well. After approximately 8 months off due to various injuries I pulled out my Target of 60 laps (1500yds). I'm well Chuffed with that.

Knee status - still swollen and the back of the knee has been giving me pressure pain. I was rubbing it this morning and found a lump. Doh! After the run the swelling was down slightly and no egg on the back of my knee. Not playing soccer on Friday night was the right decision. During the swim it started to stiffen until I stopped pushing off with that leg.

Nutrition Status: I took a Myoplex lite chocolate shake 30 minutes before the run and swim. That helped. I spoke to a Friend yesterday and he said that not drinking enough plain water really effected his performance. I have been drinking more water again and I think that helped too.

Overall a successful day. Hopefully I can get some momentum from this.

I decided today to get a new Photo. It will be after the Mini Haha if I get in. K needs to be in the picture as this whole thing needs to be a Team effort.
