I am concentrating more on strengthening my knees.  It seems that the best way to do this is to strengthen my quads (because, in turn, they protect the knees).  I have found some exercises to do when I'm at home watching tv, or just waiting in line somewhere.

I decided not to go on any runs in the weekend so I wouldn't put more pressure on my knees from the impact of running.  I did a half hour row on Saturday and a half hour bike ride on Sunday.  The Olympics coverage is usually on in the gym, so I'm not missing anything.

In the last two days I have done my Bromley-by-Bow run twice.  I like to do this run at the moment because I get to run around the Olympics area and see people walking along the Greenway.  They have felt like average runs, but they have ended up being close to 5 min/km pace, which is ok for a 9km run in training.  My knees and ankles are still a bit tender.  My stretches are better.

I will watch the Olympic marathon this weekend, for some extra inspiration.
