I am so ashamed, I have not been visiting my thread for much too long!!!!!! Just had a very quick scan back and people seem to be having mixed fortunes!!!! Good runs, deaths and pains!!!!!
I cant remember what stage I left you guys at but I saw my doc a few weeks ago and she said I had fluid on my knee. She initially said stay off work but we are so busy that was a non starter so it was left to anti inflammatories. So far it now seems to be getting earier, my knee is still swollen but nowhere near as bad as it was and is about the same size as my other knee. Mind you that is not small so difficult to compare!!! 
Anyway after seeing my osteopath on Wednesday night she was happy for me to start running again but on the condition that I only run with the 'walk to run' group, I only run twice a week for a few weeks and if I am not feeling improvement I am not allowed to run the Cracker. So the next week or two are vital and I will be sticking to this regeme rigidly. My pace will be slow and easy as I am just after mileage, I know from Cardiff I still have the pace.So I am feeling a little heartened but also apprehensive as I think if this doesnt work it could be the end on my running career!!!! 
I am now only 3 pounds away fro my target weight, I am now 12st 1lb and was 13st 12lb when I started so target will be a 2st loss!!!! I would love to do Llanelli but cant commit yet, it may be Xmas before I could think about entering a race of that distance and I mean entering for a race 4 to 6 weeks away from then!!!!!I will keep an eye on the entries and will keep you updated on my recovery.
Nessie, you must be paddling in canoes up there, I have driven through dozens of flodded streets here, worst rain I have ever seen!!!!!
Good luck to you all, I will catch up as the days go by!!!!!
