Last night in Arena 4 x mile – sort of: 5.33, failed attempt where the right knee signaled acute pain in a curve after two laps, 5.25, 5.25. It was full time at 23:00 so had to leave. The failed attemp produced maybe 2-3 mins break. Luckily it was nothing severe, probably just “a misstep” in the middle of the curve when the foot hit the ground in an abnormal position or something. I felt old. Also my legs were far from fresh. The double workouts just four days ago still haunt them.
Good news is that I’m posting this from San Francisco International Airport. Next two weeks plus two days I’m training in much better conditions compared to Finland. -15 degreee has changed to +15 and all the snow & ice is gone. The hills and outdoor tracks are waiting for me again…
