Cheers, sudden wallop. Never had issues with my knees from running before, will know better on time out tomorrow.

Thats crap Tang, hope its not that bad.
I was reading there about it, they say it happens when the knee takes a twist while the leg is not fully extended. Sounds like something that could happen on a hill.

That's not fun Tang, sorry to see it happen to you. Lets hope further investigation brings better news.

Jaysus, during the race or post race? That's a nasty injury tang, make sure to give it time. (the brace looks cool though )

Have torn my lateral meniscus cartilage, having an MRI done tomorrow afternoon to see if anything more serious done. Haven't been given a full diagnosis on how long i'll be out. Have to wear the brace for another week anyway.

Jaysus, nasty. Hope the MRI doesn't reveal anything too serious.
Keep the spirits up.

New runner

Hi folks thanks for all your support n kind words of encouragement . Tough day at office but all things considered I happy enuf with 3.53 ( possibly made 3.52.xx). Found last 8 miles really hard, had get my big toe nail sorted out yest as it had cut down into wick couple days ago n was very inflamed n sore, podiatrist cut out a piece from down side, hurt like hell n dressed it, so tbh that hurt all the way, my feet were definately my biggest prob for some reason they all cut n blistered:( oh n had diarrhoea 3 times so thr lost some mins! However on a positive note my ankle held up great n never even found pain or ache so I'm delighted with that. Writing this on phone so not ideal for a race report but ill do that tomoro . So overall happy , 3.58 in DCM n 3.53 today.
Good luck to all tomoro , hope u all have great run. We had ideal conditions today, lovely mild dry day n since we started at 8.30 wasn't too hot, so hopefully b same for u all tomoro. Best of luck to u all n thanks again x

I seen a good few of the gang before they set off.. Everyone looking fresh... Very humid out so I hope there is plenty of water out there. Heading down to the finish line later. I will do my best to be here next year, great city.

Hes made some improvement this year, turning into a serious runner. Chicago is his goal marathon and as long as the weather is in his favour(heat wise) he'll get his sub 3. Not that i'm putting pressure on him BL!!

You better be taking the piss! I wasn't racing it. No time for mind games now.

Thanks everyone. Great day. Loved touring my home town. Was hot out there too.

Another one under the belt. Unfinished business to be taken care of in Chicago now.

New runner

Brilliant running folks delighted to hear the good news! Well done!

3.43.38 garmin time. Started behind 3.45 pacers and finished ahead of them so waiting on chip time as gun times are bit off. Well done to ncmc met u few times early on with the 3.45 pacers. Anyone finishing that today has put in sime effort
Re naming the tunnel the jack lynch oven by hotpoint! Also a massive thanks to pacers Alan and brian. Held us together between 22 and 25.
Will do a report tomorrow but no doubt about it im now completely hooked.

A really tough & disastorous day at the office for me,finished in 3:53:57 :-(,how I actually finished is probably a miracle in itself,while feeling disappointed,roll on the next marathon;-)

You finished doc well done, the heat was unreal... Good to meet you

Dilbert75

Sorry to hear you were disappointed Doc - not sure what your target was but you ground out a finish on a tough day and you should be immensely proud of yourself for that.

I didn't want to say it after my LSR yesterday but I've no idea how ye all ran today - that heat is extremely draining.
