Since I’ve always been a bit apprehensive about my running, I decided after Kurnell that over the Christmas period I’d head up to Centennial Park and try to run as far as I could. The plan was to run at a reasonably relaxed pace, and to stop when my legs were struggling.

Yesterday was the day and I managed 12km, but the last 3km was a struggle as my left knee was quite a bit sore. I had hoped to get to around 14km, but my knee just wasn’t up to it. Still, it’s 2km longer than I’ve ever run before, and 5km longer than I’ve ever run in training so it’s certainly progress. My knee was giving me trouble all day yesterday, especially going down stairs, but it’s fine today. My legs muscles are wrecked though!

R: 12km
