Thanks, Seren, at the moment I can't do much of anything, but I'm thinking swimming is the way forward, I'm going to give it a go after Christmas.

Indy - really sorry to hear about your injury. How bad is the tear do you know? 

Good to hear that you're up for TR24. You have plenty of time to get fit for that.

Grinchy.....very sorry to hear about your injury. That's terrible news. How did you do it? Do you know how long you need to rest for? At least you have an excuse for being waited on hand and foot over the Xmas period!

Sorry to hear about your knee grinchy I would def say rest up, can take anything between a month to needing surgery depending on how bad it is. What symptoms do you have and have you had an MRI?

I did it initially a couple of months ago on a ten miler training for the Birmingham half marathon, about two weeks before the event. Foolishly I decided that failure wasn't an option and did it anyway which basically completely knackered it. Naively I thought it was just a bit of overuse and decided to rest it for a few weeks but upon running again for bootcamp, I then twisted it and it's got progressively worse. Prompting a trip to the physio.

I'm not sure how bad it is as such, Physio said to rest it completely then ease back in to training a little at a time, unfortunately my job involves a lot of lifting, bending and being constantly on my feet, coupled with 12 hour days because of Christmas so it's hindering it I think. But then I guess it can't be really serious if I can walk on it all day, albeit with some discomfort.

Not had a MRI yet, I'm going to give it a month then head back to the physio, I'm hoping with complete rest I'll be able to start training in a month or two, fingers crossed it's not bad enough to require surgery  Come what may I will be ready for the Thunder Run!

Hmm...am I to be offended or is that a bit of self deprecation?

Indy - does sound like you need to give it some time. If you're looking for silver linings, it's not a bad time of year to take a short break

Make sure you are! Take it as easy as the job allows and listen to your body...

Will be great to all meet up - should be a fantastic weekend

Oh yes Sarah - I will have a cup of tea and a mince pie, I know how to celebrate!

Can't help you on your dilemma, sorry - I'm bound to give you the wrong advice. 

So for the TR24 we currently have:

Clive, Sarah O, Steve, Indy and Tigger. 

I've given Paul and Carol a nudge.

I'm here I'm here... just catching up!! So many celebrations... Happy Birthday today SarahTTO! There are so many reasons for you to have a great night tonight including your running which is going to come on even "greater guns" in 2013 !! Hope you take it easy in the Park Run tomorrow. Happy 500+ postings Malcs! Sorry to hear about the injury Grinchy

I'd love to do the TR24 if there's still space on a team?? Have the Forum 6's been announced yet? May pop over to check quickly! Aw, I've missed you guys!

Excellent CarroT!  Just leave that tiger at home it looks a bit bitey!

So Team update:

Clive, Sarah O, Steve, Indy, Tigger, CarroT

Waiting to hear from Paul. Sadly DS2 and Tony can't make it, though I reckon DS2 is in secret nogitiations

Jen I reckon is planning to turn up on the day just to surprise us

If you had 6 at roughly and hour a lap that would be 4 laps each. Team of 8 is around 3 laps each. So depending on Paul and how you're all feeling the questions is whether you want 1 or 2 more.

Btw. now we have 6 we can enter a team of 6-8 and modify the numbers at a later date. I will have to check whether I can do that myself if I'm not running in that team - unless someone wants to pick up the ball from here?

I believe I have made a few more than 500 posts but probably no more than 500 sensible ones in amongst the crap

Tenjiso - Ha! Thanks!

LOL seren, I'm sure that's not true.

Massive congrats to Sarah for making the Forum 6 

Tenjiso - commiserations, sorry you didn't make it. If it was judged on humour you'd win hands down. 

Thanks Malcs.  I'll still be around, and I suspect you will be too.  The latter will be seen as a good thing.

Good luck with that TR24 everyone.  I've no idea what it is, but good luck anyway   (24 hour race/relay?)

....and have a great Christmas!
