Just thought I would enlighten you all.

Been struggling with knee trouble over the past few weeks so as I was getting more and more depressed at not running I ended up even more depressed after parting with £48 to see a physio this morning. "You're not the worst I have seen" was the phrase she used.

Good news is that she says my knee is very solid however the pain I am getting is probably due to my muscles being too tight and they are probably pulling my knee cap out of place which is why I'm getting the pain. It's my own fault as I never stretch and I know I should do.

Also my right quad was very weak, hence she reckoned that my knee would be taking more of the impact on the hills so she recommended I join a gym to work that quad up by doing Leg extensions and leg presses.

So I came away with a sheet of stretchs to work on, a lighter wallet, a £37 follow up next week booked in and a dilema about spending more money to join a gym to tone up the quad. I wonder how many one month trials I could work through.

I though running was a cheap sport??

Let's hope I feel better soon, it's depressing me paying out money!!!
