Summer is here

Approx 20 mins this morning before work, nice and hot again, like Melbourne used to be. Easier to get out of bed this morning though couldn't find socks so wasted 10 minutes tearing my room apart...Knee still tender, but no problem with ITB band. Did 15 minutes of exercises on knee and ankle when I got home. Starting to feel ankle getting more flexible, but need work on right quad and hip flexibility as well.

On the road to Berlin - Part 1 Rehab

First proper run back today. Up early at 6:45am, very tough to get out of bed but managed to. Did easy 25 mins around Battersea Park, great early morning vibe. Ran from Queenstown Bridge down to Battersea Bridge. about 25 mins in total. Right knee slightly tender but not too bad.
This afternoon, very fruitful physio session with Neil, major rehab starts now. Ankle ligaments quite damaged from last year and it is very loose compared to the left ankle. Have to do plenty of stretching and strength work over the next month or so to get it more rigid. Gave the knee some attention as well, need to keep stretching the RHS ITB band and do knee raises. The quest for Berlin starts now....
