GUCR: Tendonitis Termination
Unfortunately during the Woldsman on Saturday my mystery foot problem re-occurred and once again I was forced to stop far short of the allotted distance. After flying and feeling great for 25 miles I was cut short at about 28 miles and it was apparent that this was it. I pulled out at 31.5 after walking (ambling) the last few miles.
So, that’s it, my name is off the list and running is off the menu for the time being. Gutted.
BUT … it’s not all bad, my name is on the list for a 2011 application and I can have a decent 2nd half of 2010 with a sensible and good recovery.

Gutted for you, Mike, from a fellow injured runner. Fingers crossed for a quick comeback.

Really sad to read of your plight. If you don't mind the advice, I suggest learning as much as you can about the condition and then doing whatever it takes (ice, stretching, exercises, whatever) to make a full and speedy recovery. Again, take a professional attitude.

Sorry to read this tonight Mike. I'll look forward to meeting you on the start line next year injury free. Take care of yourself, Keith.
