that's entertainment

Some people have stage fright. Thanks to decades of Suzuki recitals and drama lessons this is something I usually overcome. Instead, I seem to have an issue with occasionally being TOO comfortable on stage. Sometimes, like last night, when you've having a bad day/week, and have a microphone in front of you and a crowd of waiting faces looking up at you, you forget that you don't actually KNOW these people, that they're not actually there to hear about your issues, and that you should probably just make a joke and continue with the show.

Right.

Oh well.

Glastonbury this weekend! .

Knees Squeeze

Running has a bad wrap in terms of knees. Like cats and dogs, the stereotype is that they just can't get along, but the truth is that they often do. They're often even the best of friends! When non-runners warn me and worry me again and again about the inevitable demise of my knees due to my little running addiction, I'm always a fast and keen defender of running's pro-knee properties.

And then, I had to go and get a knee injury.

And, humiliatingly, it's nothing fancy, just plain, old, "runner's knee." The name adds insult to injury. Literally.

So, I've taken a week (weak) off. Swimming, cycling, elliptical training, no running. And now, after one "clean" week, I wake up this morning and my OTHER KNEE really hurts.

Oh. I'm not impressed.

Unless this means that non running is worse than running?

I might just try a tiny little 6km tomorrow....
