Sasha's birthday today so a big job was in order for him, knew I was in no shape to do a full extravaganza but didn't want to let the big man down so tagged along for as much as I thought was manageable. Met nice and early at Blackford pond with Tim, where it was finalised that those two would do skyline from home. Lovely clear morning with a good moon too but has to be said it was really very cold. I made it up Caerketton and glad I did because the the views were mighty fine with a nice low layer of cloud beneath us. Quite jealous to miss the ensuing sunrise from ridge and a little sad to leave but pleased to have made it so far. Had to go very slowly down from Caerketton because it was icy and knee hurt which meant my hands got very cold, despite double gloving. Nice cruise back after that and didn't feel too bad, knee marginally less painful than yesterday but hard to say because it was quite frozen. Hope the run is going well lads.

Couple of KF laps with Matt, have to say his chat was more tolerable on this run which really is a surprise. Less hobbly which was nice but still quite painful.

Decided some rest days were probably wise since I couldn't run without a strong limp or considerable pain. Swelling in the knee hasn't gone down much, which concerns me a little, but am getting stitches out on Thursday so will hopefully find out a little more after that.
