The end is near.......

Not good news running wise from me as doctor and sports physio have said they think I have grade two knee cartilage problems. Last 6 weeks have been getting a random aching pain which then progressed to a nasty pain where felt like somebody was drilling my knee! Is very on and off so went to sports physio and after a few visits said cartilage issue. Went to the doctors aswell just for another opinion (even though sports physio prob more accurate) and they also said cartilage problems (without me saying already been to a physio). Doctor thinks I shouldnt be running at all until after MRI scan and some other test but physio says see how I feel and just make sure its now more than a few times a week on grass. So this week I havent done any running and will try and do 3 runs a week on grass which will basically be 2 speed sessions and a longer steay run! Down to run a 3k at the next British League 2nd July but doubt I will be in any decent shape which is a shame as thought I could get into reasonable form. A little but gutted at the moment but will see how it pans out but the days of 50 mile plus week have def gone out the window...time to get fat by eating pies could be around the corner.....
