I have been for a few runs, now, while the Olympics have been on.  I have done the Bromley-by-Bow run twice, which follows much of the DLR route to the Olympic Park and includes a section along the Greenway.  Things are different now that the Olympics are on.  There are some road checkpoints near West Ham station, lots of cones and lots of volunteers in their purple and pink jackets helping people find where to go.  Along the Greenway, they have a few high chairs (like for a tennis umpire) and the people sitting in them have loudspeakers.  It has been a good atmosphere to be running in.

My times have been ok, but I have been feeling a bit bloated.  I still need to make some adjustments to my diet.

Last Sunday, I ran the Holborn loop run, which is 24.5km.  I was a bit low on energy at the start, which has been the case for many of my Sunday runs this year.  I am disappointed by this and I think it is to do with what I am eating immediately before the run.  I noticed that my right knee was tender at the end of the run.

At the end of this week, it has been my left knee which feels tender.  I was scheduled to go for a run on Thursday night, but I decided to do a half-hour bike ride so I wouldn't put too much pressure on my knee.  I had a rest day on Friday, but I still note that the knee feels tender.
