I Haven't Got time for the Pain

This will be quick, as for the last 2 1/2 weeks I have only completed a few training session.
Its been a difficult go with my right knee with not a whole lot of progress, I am able to walk around almost pain free, but it is stil there.

Last week I did a couple swim sessions, mostly with the pull boy, and I tried to to go for a run after having a good day but only made it about 500m and had to turn back. This morning was another attempt and I made it about 3km and was running down a hill and felt a little jolt of pain so I immediately stopped and walked home. After doing a good stretch, my knee feels a little tender, but not bad. I'm hoping to test it on my road bike tonight and if that goes well I will try to get out for a good ride this weekend.

I never thought I would be one of those people you see running or cycling at an ungodly hour, and justified my recent early/late training sessions to the commitments of the contest, but I am actually jealous seeing other people training at 6am on my way to work. That being said, I am also jealous of the people at BBQ's who are scarfing down burgers and drinking beer with no guilt as well. Somewhere in that is a happy median.

I would really like to thank everyone for their votes last month, I've had a few notes from people who not only voted, but passed it on to others as well.

Hopefully I will have a better training blog soon, cause I really don't have time for the pain!

Take care,
Scott
