    Thanks Pistol. I'll have a look for that. Your own running is going great at the minute. You are churning out the miles even on the mid week runs. Hope you get the shoes sorted!

    Good to hear it. It might take a few shorter runs to build up the strength in the muscle/fibres. You'll be back to your best before you know it

    Maybe it's a secret miraculous cure. Bring on the miracles :)

    In brief ladies, the cure is a number of sharp elbows in the arse and a serious of glute exercises tied to the back of a Massey Ferguson 135:p

    The only log i have is the one the cat uses to keep his claws sharp

    Friday 17th February
    5 miles
    8:18 min/mile

    Walked up to the park to warm the knee up. Ran relatively pain free till 3.5. Stopped for a minute to stretch and then upped the pace as knee isnt as sore when striding. I think things are beginning to look up - hopefully anyway. Not sure what my plan is for wkd. Would love a long run but not sure if I'd manage one. Maybe a walk run strategy. Hmmmmmm

    I have a great plan for you...do a couple of miles tomorrow with some cool peeps. Then I hear you have invite for drinks and dinner which you should take up and rant about said injury with some gossip thrown in. Sunday will then be spent resting/recovering from a hangover. Great idea or what :D

    Saturday 18th February
    10ish miles

    Walked up to the park to warm up. Hoped to meet up with Nules and Shaz but couldnt find them even with my super new eyes. So just pottered on. Stretched at around 5 miles, no gramin so judging by the time. Then met the two ladies as I was near the end of my run. Knee is not as bad as it has been but still lets me know its there. Wind was yucky today and I'm shattered after my longest run in about a month! Great to be back though :)

    Sunday 19th February
    5 miles
    8:46 min/mile

    I had only planned a walk but sure it was nearly 10 so I decided I'd meet the boards group so hooked up with Vagga, Chinguetti, Shels4ever and Mr. Slow in the park. Its the first time I hadnt walked up to the park to warm the knee up so I had pain from the outset which was really disappointing. Said goodbye to the gang at 3.5, stretched and finished on 5. Three days in a row was a bit silly. Know your limits!

    Monday 20th February
    6.28 miles
    9:08 min/mile

    Hadnt planned on going out tonight but one of the boards girls tempted me to a run in the park. Hadnt seen her in ages so the chat made the time fly and I didnt pay any heed to the knee. She gave me loads of exercises to do too to fix the knee so well chuffed now :)

    It was nice to meet you on Sunday, it was plain to see it wasn't working for you, fair play for getting 5 in.

    Wednesday 22nd February
    10 miles
    8:39 min/mile
    1hr 26

    Talk abut getting mixed signals!!! Well midway through doing my strengthening exercises for my ITB/knee on Mon night...bang...my SI joint goes and knocks itself out. The pain got worse and worse through the night with not a wink of sleep and next morning I couldnt put my shoes and socks on. Well fed up now at this stage. Anyways, worked on it for a few hours last night when the inflammation had gone down and woke up this morning in far better shape. Moving was far easier than sitting around so headed up to the park for a small run today (day off to sort the hip out). Got going and felt good so kept going for 10. Wind was shocking in some parts and I got drenched but I would take those any day over not being able to run. So finished the 10 with an actual PB. I'm happy but really confused. I'm falling apart bit by bit but I'm having ok runs. I'll just go with it sure :)

    So you now know what makes you go faster, getting injuried. :D So good luck with the injuries and the running.

    Btw describing 10 miles as a small run will have the ultra folk trying to recruit you if you're not careful!

    Whats that film called where your man hurts his arm and becomes brilliant at baseball? ha
    Pain got worse today so had to make an emergency visit to the chiropractor and got the pelvis "re-located". I suppose he's taken away my superpowers now too :mad::mad:

    Ouch - hope that wasn't too painful and you're feeling better soon. That was some running yesterday on an injured pelvis - impressive stuff!
