I've been to see the physio again this morning and the good news is not running was never mentioned but I have no real guarantees of making it to the end.
I am especially annoyed that he told me my running shoes have some responsibility for the problems I have now, as they are not offering the right support. These are the same running shoes that I went to a specialist shop to make sure I had the right ones and paid good money for the priviledge. To be fair I am not sure my arches are what he was actually looking for though.
The problem is definitely related to my kneecap and has a lot to do with how my foot leans in and becomes flat footed when I put weight on it. This leads to my knee not operated in a straight line and therefore the muscles not working in the way they should do.
Enough of the technicals my knee is now taped to one side to try and train it back to place and I have more physio planned for next week.
The whole of today was positive and based 100% around me running so lets hope the tape and a foot arch will make the difference
I am going to try a short run this weekend, probably on Sunday before I have been to see my tractor boys put the budgies back in their place, so hopefully Sunday will be a great day all round.
9 days to go!

Hi Fish - don't get downhearted by my injury - we're all different and if your physio thinks you can get round then have faith! Keep your positive attitude and I'm sure you'll be fine. You'll get so much energy and support from the crowd on the day I bet you forget all about your knee. good luck!
