Wednesday Feb 20th - I had to make the really difficult decision today to withdraw from the 2008 London Marathon. My achilies still isn't right, but mainly it is my insides playing silly buggers. I was peeing blood again todayand have been aching around my kidneys for the last 3 weeks or so. I am going for minor investigative surgery next week which hopefully will sort things out but it is playing havock with my training. At my pre-op check, some levels were too low so they changed my tablets around, which has made my ankles swell, which doesn't help with excercise either. After the op my medication will be changed around again to find the right combination.
I am entered in Bideford half marathon on 2nd March, but that is only 3 days after general anasthetic and not the best preparation. Doctor today said I should be careful so I have decided not to push it.
I'll hopefully be able to carry forward my entry to next year.
I am very sorry for those of you who have been drumming up support and especially to those who have already donated online. Unfortunatly, if you donated rather than pledged you cannot get your money back. But please be assurred that your money has gone to a very good cause, plus you can look at it as an advance sponsorship for next year!
Thanks to everyone, especially Kaz, Jake & Ellie for their support.
Today's Training: Profiteroles, chocolate & crisps!!
