Oh my poor battered knee!!!  Ouch!!!  My knee hurts.  HURTS!  Ow!!!!  :(

So anyway.  No one ever crossed a desert by whining like a baby about a sore knee.  Time to get back at it!  Grrrrr!  Macho posturing aside I couldn't run today because my left knee was really painful and I didn't want to do anything stupid.  So instead I got on an eliptical trainer in the gym for 40 minutes. In some ways that in itself is pretty stupid because your legs go like the billy-oh and you don't get anywhere.  Still, it burnt about 400 calories (so that's a quarter of breakfast then) and got me sweating pretty good.  I'm sure it was incredibly helpful to my training.

Oh, and before I got on the eliptical I accidentally got on this thing where instead of going forwards and backwards your legs go out to the side.  I got off it pretty sharpish because I was worried about falling off it.  But I saw someone else using it later and sussed out what you did.  I tell you what.  I reckon it could give you buttocks that would crack a walnut!  I might give it a go some other time but for today I played it safe.

After 40 minutes on the eliptical I did some core work on the space hopper and some stretches on the rack then down the pool.  I didn't really swim today but I did spend a good 15 minutes in the sauna.
Peace, out!

CHARITY HURTS!!
Ow - my left knee hurts!  I've been limping along for most of the day but have been sensible and not pushed it too far.  Tomorrow is a rest day so I won't do much and hopefully by Tuesday it'll be right as rain!

Please remember that I'm inflicting all this pain and misery on myself for a cause greater than just having a good story to tell over a beer. I hope to raise over £9,500 for MENCAP; an amazing charity who help those born with learning difficulties to live a normal life and to enjoy the same opportunities and choices that the rest of us take for granted.
