I am a bit like you, I want to do one more marathon before I 'officially' retire as I feel I could do a sub 3hr 30mins if I get my long training runs right! Hope all the family are well and we'll catch up soon. Makes sense about the Wycombe Half, no way I’ll be doing it as I’ll get the results of my knee MRI scan tomorrow.

I'm still not able to bend my knee without a sharp pain and I cant get at appointment to see a physio until the end of the month, so there just wouldn't be enough time to put any training in. I'll see how things go with the physio, I want to do another marathon, so I can at least see what I could do if I was injury free, I have applied for London 2010, but as this is the first time I have tried, I doubt I will get in, with it being such a popular event, I'll just have to wait until October to find out.

I sympathise with the knee as I am currently having mine looked at as we speak so I have had to stop running. I am guessing it is another torn cartilidge. Still aim to do the London next year or I will defer it until 2011. I can't understand how your mum beat you though, as I see from the result a Margaret Mclaughlin beat your time by 31 seconds....did she out sprint you!! Are you planning to still do the Wycombe half or are you seeing sense and getting that knee of yours looked at? Hi John, Well done for completing it, in what must of been difficult conditions.
