after years of running i finally have my first knee problem, which has been painful and frustrating in equal parts. it doesn’t bother me when i ride or walk, but when i run it becomes completely debilitating after maybe two miles. it’s been like that for about a month. i suppose i’ll have to find a sports doc when i get home.

running in a new city is one of my favorite things, as i feel like i can cover a ton of ground really quickly. with the residual knee stiffness from last weekend finally subsiding, i went to run around holyrood park. the good news is that holyrood park and arthur’s seat are gorgeous, the bad news is that my knee started acting up and almost locked up when i stopped to ask directions.

it probably didn’t help that there was a cross-country team of 13-year-olds who i decided to race up the hill. but don’t you worry, i brought one home for the usa and for old people with knee problems everywhere.

i’m paying for it now — laid up on the couch, ice on my knee, watching the football report on bbc2. no running until i get home. all cycling all the time.
