the knee’s much better again. yesterday’s last 5km were a bit painful, hence today’s basic run started out very carefully. Looked after the knee during the night and the whole day with a lot of Voltaren, that took away the swelling. Went to see the doc, but only got an appointment for tomorrow. Well let’s see what he/she says. My hunch is that Friday’s jumps in combination with Sunday’s longer+faster run and Monday’s long run all on this Mondo track were beyond the load that the knee fibers were certified for.
Now back on the road and in the snow. The tedious road conditions didn’t matter today, the 5+min/km pace was very much ok. And finally we re-discovered some long gone fun, chasing bicycles. You spot them somewhere in front of you or they overtook you on a downhill stretch. When still close enough (according to your own estimation), you take an acceleration and pass them with a nod and a smile. Especially on an uphill part, they don’t stand much a chance. Always good fun 
Today they were a bit of an easy catch. Also they had their troubles ploughing their way through the 5-8cm deep snow on the bike and sideways.
today’s training: 11.5km basic run in 60min, route, hr and other
