This is not the log of each workout I do, but rather a higher level summary of what's happening with my training overall. For a detailed log, I use [[SportTracks]] and publish to [[Dailymile]] at http://www.dailymile.com/people/JonathanS.

So my knee injury has proved to be more of an issue than I expected. My knees became a serious problem on Nov 23, when the pain became a cause for concern. I took it easy for about 3 weeks, running just 30-40 miles/week. My knee hadn’t recovered fully, but it was doing better so I ramped things up, doing a couple of 16 miles runs on consecutive days. This proved to be way too much and my knee pain got a lot worse and a lot more continual. As a result, I’ve taken two weeks off completely, and it seems to be recovering slowly. I suspect I’ve damaged the meniscus and/or MCL, and both of them are serious structural problems. We’ll have to see how things go in the new year as I return to running.

==November 2015==
Things started to come together in November until I injured my left knee. I developed some medial knee pain part way through November, and ignored it for too long. As a result I spent the last part of the month nursing it back to health.
