Another hundred plus mile week, though there’s still been a niggle in my right knee. It hasn’t actually bothered me much at all until this afternoon's run. I think running the up-tempo 5k this morning caused it to flare up. (The knee felt completely fine during the run). Hopefully it’s just some minor inflammation and gets better with icing, but probably going to have to cut back a bit in the coming days.
