Back from injury with a week to go!
Apr0520081:24 p.m.
Since my last long run (cut short by 8 miles!) i haven't run due to strained ligaments, 2 1/2 weeks ago i didn't think i would make it to the start but after some serious rest loads of stretches, exercises, brisk walks and swimming i'm in with a chance.
I've been given the go ahead to run from the physio and today i'm going out for a short long one to see how the knee feels, if i can get through today i can run, i'm very nervous incase it all falls apart as i desperately want to run but i don't want to wreck my knee and be out for the next 6 months. My only consolation is that i managed to get my 20miler in before i pulled my knee so my injury has happened through my taper - and although i haven't run i have kept up activity to keep from losing too much fitness.
We head down to London on thursday and i'm looking forward to browsing round expo again - trying not to spend too much money!!
Wish everyone good luck for there marathon and hope to join you at the start line.
