Thanks Rafiki, i'll have a search on that.  There are a host of other things i've found that it sounds like it may be looking on internet.  But looking on google is probably the worst thing to do ha!

Will try not to panic till i see the dr and hope he can help in some way!

Hopefully just a week or 2 of rest as not running is very depressing now i've got into a routine and am loving it!

Thanks Ric, and everyone else for responses.  Feeling slightly less panicky about the whole thing now.

I sometimes need sense talked into me!

That sounds like a good idea, didn't realise this was an option.

The pain is on my lower leg, feels like it is on the bone, it's not directly on the front of my leg but a little to the side (slightly towards the inside of my right leg).  It's kind of like the same feeling when you bruise.

It could be, but i'm the kind of annoying person who freaks out when something bad happens and assumes the worst!  Must stop stressing....

Yeah, you're right.  Suppose i just need to stop getting myself in a state over it!

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, was in a rush.  Ok it's only a 10k (yes i realise how 'pathetic' this distance may seem to some, but as a beginner to anything more than a couple of miles, this is important to me, everyone has to start somewhere right?) and my runs consist of 2 - 4miles at the moment, 3 times a week.  Tue and Thu shorter runs, Sat longer run.

I know i'm getting myself in a bit of a state over it, but people have donated alot of money for my sponership and i have no idea what to do if i'm told not to do the race - i'll have let myself, the charity and the people who have sponsored me down.

I would just 'man up and get on with it' but not at the risk of injuring myself further!
