No Go - Harry's Spring Run-Off 5k Race Report

DNS.

Knee still wonky. Getting better, but not out of the woods yet. Pain is below the kneecap, and a bit inside. Sounds like "runner's knee", but I would have expected that to flare up from actually running, not after 3 days off. And it's taking a while to clear.

Let's see what the doc says on Monday, then get to fixing things. If it is PFPS, then I need to get back to the stretching and prehab strengthening I was doing before I quit, for some unknown reason. (Probably decided to run another kilometer instead of stretch for 5 minutes. Good choice in hindsight, eh?)

Nice morning for a run too.

Priorities

1. Get my knee diagnosed (appointment on Monday)
1a. Get my knee fixed
2. Whatever time off is needed for above, build my mileage back up, hopefully to 80-90km/week by the time I go back to work (6 weeks).
3. Salvage something of the spring season, using occasional speedwork (if not too much time is missed) to run a couple of decent 5k's.
4. By run-commuting as much as possible, log lots of miles over the summer, sprinkling in some speed, and running a quick 10k, maybe half-marathon in the fall.
