Ouch !

Dam I hate getting injured !
There is no use trying to push through an injury. The body just wont let you.
I rested another day and waited till Sunday morning to go for a run. Just an easy 18k no push no hassle just easy. Well that was the plan. I felt good and no signs of the left knee till I hit about 5k then the pain set in and I tried to push through it but the pain just got worse. By about 13k the pain seemed to be less or I was just getting used to it. Then a group of cyclists rode bye with about 20 "good morning ,gidday and how ya goin?" and took my mind off the pain. The last k hurt like hell and although any body in their right mind would have walked a long time ago I just kept going. What was I thinking ? I'm not 19 and bullet proof. Anyway 18k at 5:10 pace and ouch.
To top it off I spent most of the day pushing a dam mower around the yard and a couple of trips to the dump to clean up the yard.
I did manage to catch the women's marathon WoW !
Take care
