Thought I'd start a group for those having to bail out of the sub 3:00., 3:30.,4:00, etc., due to injury.

Heres the place to moan and groan...

Doctor said I gotta tight ITB
You'll never do 26 on that knee
What you need is complete rest my son
Defer, 'til next years London marathon

How do you go about deferring, and what kind of reasons do they accept? I've had couple of bad sinus things recently, both of which have knocked my training out by at least a week. I can't see being able to run until the weekend, and I'm well behind on my training...

You don't have to give a reason, just post the acceptance form back.

I'm deferring because I tore a tendon in my foot at the end of last year and I'm only really getting back into running again. I didn't want to put the pressure on myself to get up to 26 miles by April.

Roll on next year!!

I'll see how the sinuses hold out - give it a couple more weeks and see how I go. Worried though that somewhere on the FLM site it says if you can't run 15 miles comfortably 1 month pre-race, you shouldn't do it. I did 9.5 last weekend and I *ached* afterwards!

clock says 60 days to go and counting. Maybe I'll be ok....
