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.

==June 2016==
My June mileage was extremely low at only 117 miles, but is that gloomy number hides some optimistic indications. When I last updated this blog I was due to see a surgeon, with the hope that they would be able to fix my meniscus and I'd return to normal. After chatting to the surgeon, I decided to continue with a conservative approach which seems to be working quite well. Having had a protracted period of very low mileage, I feel that my knee is gradually improving. During the last couple of weeks of June I've been gradually increasing my distance, running three times a week, with a week of 11 mile runs, and then 13 mile runs. I've started to use a [[Treadmill Desk]] as my knee seems to do much better with movement than it does when I'm sedentary, and I'm walking more to get ready for my trip to the Kungsleden in September. For those interested in the details, there were several reasons why I declined surgery.
