My sincere apologies to everyone for not posting. I have not been having a good time. After Cardiff my knee was still playing up so on Tuesday at running I took the 'walk to run' group so I could just loosen up. I had an appointment booked with my Osteopath on Wednesday and she couldnt diagnose anything my knee was so puffy. She thinks it could be fluid on the knee so no running for two weeks. I have been icing it and staying off it at nights but work isnt helping. I am just hoping it is not another internal problem, I really want to do London but dont want to end up not being able to even walk. Will keep you informed.
Chris, what a palava you both have been dragged through, why do landlords do tese things to people, do they not know how much hassle they cause??? Well at least you have now got some time to look around and get something better and maybe more permanent.
Nessie, you must be describing two peoples work, I just cant see how you get the energy to do it all. I reckon if you did nothing every day you would be beating us all in pace and distance!!!!!! 
Sorry to hear about your neck, I get that all the time but usually it goes after a week or two, I think mine is stress related.
Ffran, take it easy after your illness, you need to build energy rather than worry about taper, dont think at this stage you will do any harm by a quick taper, more important to build reserves!! I find that if I havent done much walking my hamstrings ahce the first good distance I do, they should settle ok. I hope the weather is good for you, I think it is on the turn to colder, winter is just round the corner.
Well done Kev, sometimes life is better at the slower pace, much more pleasant!!!
Toby, you have definately caught the bug, I am still considering Llanelli half but need to get a clean bill for my knee first, I hope it doesnt sell out too quick. I am doing Longleat, well at least I have entered it, I just cant conceive of me not running again!!!!!!
