Long run with Thor, John, Anna, and Clare from Clare's though I started from my place and ran to Clare's. Nice easy jog through Coot-tha forest park, didn't climb the Mount for once but did do Quail Trail which is a bit of a grind and then some steep pinches further to the west. Cardiovascular system was doing fine but my hip flexors, quads and ITBs were suffering. I need to do some serious rolling and stretching and probably have a proper massage.

Got bike back from the shop yesterday so figure I'd ride in but failed to tighten seat clamp after adjusting the height and had to ride in sitting practically on the crossbar. To add insult to injury, or more accurately, injury to insult, right knee started giving me grief pretty early on and I had trouble on the hills. Had to walk a few of the hills on the way home.

Knee was pretty bad, hoping it was just an aggravated ITB but not sure, will have to see how it pans out over the next couple of days. Piked on Cyclones ints which I'd planned to do for the first time in ages because of the knee :(
