Deeper into depression :-(

Well now 2 weeks since knee injury, managed to continue to cycle in Lanza but last week had a full week off training to help the knee and try and get over the man flu. Sunday knee felt ok so thought I would try a run. Keeping it sensible I thought I would just do my 3 mile loop, didn't even get half a mile :-(
Walked the dog this morning and after a 1 1/2 mile walk knee was very sore and stiff. Off to get the big bad steroid injection in the morning (Tue) hopefully that will do the trick. Really missing the running now, cycled this morning just 20 mile and it seemed ok on the bike but not sure if I'm doing more harm to it. Think it has to be total rest after the steroid injection? will find out at docs. Must be bored as I did an ironman swim in the pool today! still at least its some training.
