Am still working away at my injury but have felt quite good for the last couple of days and my walking gait is almost back to normal I think (I've been moving my left knee out on contact with the ground rather than picking my foot up properly). I've been working on my single leg squats etc and have discovered that my left glute medius is not up to par either so have been working on that too. Have also spent a bit of time faffing with my cleat and saddle height/position on the bike and that appears to have helped some. Did Body Pump and Yoga last night and the difference in strength between my left and right legs is like night and day , I'm beginning to think I've just been dragging my left leg around like a parasite for years!

Left leg a little stiff from BP I headed out on a 2 mile run this afternoon concentrating on picking my feet up properly and driving forward with my knee and......it felt quite good actually, I was springing along so much so I extended my run to 2.5 miles (think that's quite enough for a comeback run - sensible head on). Only slight problem was that I did run far too fast but we'll see how things are later after an afternoon of desk driving.

I've decided to stop being so "woe is me" and take advantage of my inability to do long rides/runs and go give blood for the first time tonight, I've always been worried it'll mess things up training wise. Fingers crossed I don't faint afterwards....I've been told to freely raid the biscuit (cookie) tin by those in the know and its also a great excuse to drink red wine
