I had a few days off from any fittness training this week after a party last weekend where I got a little bit drunk and fell over and bashed my head. The reason I fell over was I was a) slightly tippsy and b) wearing flip flops.
The knock on was I felt all depressed this week because of it add to this I'am away from home and that I havent been running for a few weeks I decided to feel sorry for myself for a few days.
However every cloud has a silver lining as because I blamed the flip flops I didnt wear them all week, and my legs felt really good because of it. This made me realise that since arriving on Ascension Island its been about 30+ degrees every day so flip flops have been the only thing ive been wearing and now I realise this is why my knees have been bad. A week of not wearing them and my legs felt great...when I put them back on I noticed very quickly that the knee pain came back and because I hadnt been exercising it had to be the Havianas.
So happy days, armed with this knowledge i was able to knock out 34 mins todayon the tredmill and all though my knees feel a little bit sore they feel a hell of a lot better than they did. Going to rest tommorow and then see if I can do it again on Tuesday.
