They think it's all over... well it fells like it may be to me at the moment. I took the train over to Brighton this morning as planned and all started ok(ish) but as I reached Portslade the pain got too much. So I then started walking until the pain subsided and interspersed jogging and walking until nearly Shoreham when I found myself in so much pain that I had to walk... and walk is exactly what I did until I got home, fed up, pissed off and fit to quit.
The fact of the matter is that there's 48 days left and because of my knee I haven't been able to train or prepare anywhere nearly properly and despite spending ton of money on physiotherapists, acupuncturists, specialists and advice I feel worse now than I did 3 months ago. The best I can probably hope for is to have to walk 20 of the 26.2 miles but even that's going to be a major undertaking.
I've got an appointment with a knee specialist this week so will make a decision on the marathon after I've seen him but at the moment it looks like I'll have to put off the marathon until 2012.
