Gutted, Runner 4439 won't be running..........
Mar2520099:01 a.m.
I still haven't got around to defering yet and it came back to haunt me big style on Friday. My registration pack arrived complete with red laces and registration form & running number.
The last race I ran was a marathon (sounds impressive)...10 months ago! I last ran out doors over 7 months ago........yet I was still absolutely gutted when the pack arrived! I could have been running the 2009 FLM, but I am not.
All your hard has been worth it, only 4 weeks to go, make sure you bloody enjoy!
The right achilles is still buggered and I feel like I have been!

Hat 'Awwwwwww Ruddy! Why haven't you deferred? Why are you torturing yourself? You will run again - there must be something you can do about that achilles surely? It can't be buggered forever can it? And nor can you!xx' added 25th Mar 2009

Nick 'Are you still not right, Ruddy, even after having your leg in plaster? I should go and see a proper orthopaedic surgeon. I think we might be looking at surgery now.' added 25th Mar 2009

yarra 'What u need is blood injection therapy, but note what I say *very* carefully. U must have *two* interventions, each 2 weeks apart. (As for SA cricket captain Smith, with his elbow tendon prob). My error was only having one intervention, not knowing u need *2* to fix it.' added 2nd Apr 2009
