So the doc and physio said rest it for a week, so i actually gave it 9 days. Then thought it was better so went for a gentle 3 miles on thursday and - arrgh!- it played up again ater that. Gutted. So haven't run since. Was supossed to be doing my last longish 12mile run with the group this morning but decided against it in case it makes it worse. Will just give it as much chance to get better this week and not do any running - maybe a bit of cycling - until the big day now. It's a pretty scary thought to do 26 miles after absolutely nothing for 2 weeks but people say you can't lose all that much fitness in two weeks, and i would rather it flares up on the day and then just grin and bear it than make it worse this week and totally screw my chances for sunday. Have just resigned myself to not getting the good time I've been hoping for - there will be other marathons for that!
Oooh ... this time next week....!!!!

You never know another week's rest and it might be good onthe day. Or if it does flare up you'll grin and bear it anyway. I bet you still get a great time! But yeah - frustrating not to run for 2 weeks though, but you'll be fine. Argh this time ne xt week! (it better be cooler)
