Well, after a couple of months really good training I appear to have picked up a minor injury to my left knee. It's very similar to the injury I picked up in November 2008 although I think this time it was caused by running on the ice and snow.
The knee isn't painful although it feels bruised and it seems obvious to stop running for a week or so to let it settle down ... with help from ice and ibuprofen of course.
I expect to be running again next week but in the meantime I feel as if I'm in limbo really regarding next year's races. Obviously I'm looking forward to the Commonwealth Championships in September but apart from that I don't want to enter anything until I know the date of the rearranged World Championships now that Brugg have had to pull out.
I'm just itching to race again - or I was until yesterday. Maybe it's a sign that things were going too well. Anyway I hope a date will be decided and announced before the end of this year then I can make some definite racing plans.
I'll let you know as soon as I can but in the meantime I have a few shorter races in the pipeline starting with a club event next Sunday. See this page for more details.

Recently came across your blog. Enjoying reading about your adventures. Just thought I'd stop by and say "Hey!"
Heal quickly!
Thanks Thomas
Not as many adventures in the pipeline as I would like at the moment ... awaiting the date of next year's World Championship 24 hr race first.
