Its a no go for me!
Sep30201010:50 p.m.
The post droping onto the floor woke me up this lunch time, lazy git some might think but I had just come of a night shift, a visit to the toilet then I popped down stairs to see what the heavy post was. A nice red magazine with a no entry sign displayed & the wording COMMISERATIONS.
So its a no go this time around for me, not as gutted as I thought that I would be, a combination of the knee problem & the fact that it would have been my 6th London so I cant complain.
On the training front, there hasnt been too much, no running yet, 2 fairly long cycle rides, 1 of 35 miles. The knee feels allot better, its been nearly 2 weeks since my last run so D-day tomorrow. Out with the wife for a nice easy run n walk as a tester.
Well done to all those that have got a thumbs up...enjoy!

SeanG 'Unlucky with the VLM ballot. Hope that the injures clear up some time soon. I would maybe suggest doing lots of very slow miles when you are able to. Lay down a really good base. It certainly "injury proofed" me.' added 5th Oct 2010
