Forgotten how to run

So after my lazy/rest weekend, Monday I got back out there.  It was disappointing, it was like my legs had forgotten how to run.  I struggled through a 5km, having to stop frequently.  On top of that one of my knees was very very unhappy.  Maybe its affected by the cooler weather, not sure, it was probably the worst pain I've experienced in my training so far.

I'm going to run again tonight, and try to stay disciplined rather than discouraged, but I do feel discouraged, so close to the big day, and after all my months of dedicated training my last run felt like I'd never run before in my life.

Really hoping that I find my umph in the next 10- days (yes just 10

- Just realised I haven't posted since that 12 miles.  Post the 12 miles, I had my best run ever, a quick 5km (preceded by a warm up and some hills) but that 5km I felt like I was flying, I was fast, had strong legs, it was fab.  Partly I think it might have been my body's way of saying 'ok, I'll play ball just don't make me run 12 miles again'.  I wish my running had been as lovely since.
