I'm very happy that I can go back to running after resting for 1 month from my knees pain. Although not 100% recovered, I still continue doing the icing on the pain areas and some strengthening exercise at the gym. During the 1 month period, I have been to 4 Chinese tit da, 1 sport clinic and 1 clinic to treat my knees. The sport clinic and the clinic gave the same explanation that my both knees are okay. I'm glad to hear that :D
Also, need to thank my running frens who keep motivating me to get back to running and also the advises on how to treat my knee pains.
Here are my runnings for the past 1 week.
31 Aug 2010 - LSD 22.17km (2:38)
3 Sep 2010 - Slow run 7.38km (0:46)
5 Sep 2010 - LSD 25.03km (3:00) - first time hit 25K and running in a drizzling rain.. woohoo..
As I'm still worried about my knees, I now run at a slower pace with shorter strides to minimise the impact on my knees. I'm now the slowest runner in my normal running group... haha...
But the most important thing is I'm still running. Need to slowly gain back my endurance fitness and stamina.
Lastly, I have joined the adiNation of Runners on 3 Sep 2010 for their weekly run. Here is my first stamp! :)
I'm now looking forward the Newton 25K. My goal is to finish the run with no injury!
