2000 km of Training Week 22: 617.5 to go INJURED!

Sun: Bike 33k
Mon: Went for my normal run home, but the legs were really tired, and had a feeling it might not go well. Got about 5 minutes in and started getting the same pain in my right knee that I used to get in the left. I guess the shot of pain I got after the 30k run on Saturday was not just a joke. In retrospect it was a combination of doing too many days in a row without rest, including hills (albeit very small, but more than I'm used to) in the loop I ran, and probably the cushioned shoes.
Tue: Rest. Some pain in the knee even with just normal walking. Exactly the same sensation as with the left before, although probably not as bad.
Wed: Bike 33k.
Thu: 8.7/38:30/4:25/Evo Didn't realize I was running this fast, guess that may be part of why my knee was getting sore. Took the train part way just to play it safe.
Fri: Rest. Was going to try a morning jog, but knew the knee needed rest.
Sat: 11/50:39/4:36/VFF Crazy windy and spring squalls, but a pretty good run; first time in a while running in the VFFs. Knee was sensitive, but didn't seem to be getting worse. Glad to at least get in over 10k.

Total Mileage: 19.7 Not at all what I had planned for this week, but then again, I'm not supposed to be planning my training, I guess. Hopefully will have some fun runs in Kagoshima from later this week, and still be able to run in the HM in two weeks.
