Just as things were coming along nicely too...
Long story short - I zigged when I should have zagged at training on Friday night and copped a nastly blow to my left shin.
It was pretty miserable on Saturday but with my new enthusiasm (planning to run 96k is a wonderful motivator) I insisted on pushing out a run. By Sunday I could barely walk let alone run,
I haven't gone to the quacks to get it checked - if it is something bad I'd rather not know - that way it will heal faster :-) I'm hoping to run tomorrow but it may be wishful thinking.
In any event it casts some definite doubt about fronting for PMC - but I haven't chucked the towel in yet. With a no taper build-up I still reckon I could have a crack.
Only time will tell.

Sometimes enforced rest works wonders - you never know.
Fingers n toes cross for ya matey.
Fingers crossed matey.
if it is something bad I'd rather not know - that way it will heal faster :-) Nice theory!! Speaking from experience health-wise but not injury-wise it is better to know. But, I can see where you are coming from - the doc might tell you to stop running.
Hope it gets better soon.
And I was just getting used to the consecutive days in a row of training. Hope it sorts itself out pretty quick and you get to run PMC.
Maybe bite the bullet and have four or five days off. At this stage its not going to make much difference at all, in fact you may well feel stronger after the break.
More finger crossing going on up here.
Bugger, hopefully nothing too sinister. I ignore stuff too with the whole ignorance is bliss thing. I am sure you'll make it to PMC this year.
let's hope your ignore it and it will go away theory works out. Fingers crossed and healing vibes on their way across town.
Well, who's a silly goose then? Did you go migi when you should have gone hidari? At least you are lucky you weren't practicing katana.
Let's hope it isn't anything too serious. But if you really do suspect a bone chip or something, well, there is really only one thing to do isn't there?
fingers, toes, legs and arms crossed. I like the Three Wise Monkeys approach to health maintenance...
Ooh, hope its okay. Here's to hoping you're running miles and miles in a week.
Cast being the operative word. I hope your leg is not cracked! This, for ever more, will be called 'doing a 2P' - to go with 'doing a CJ', 'doing a Sparkie' etc.
"The only one thing to do" Stephen mentions is not shooting you, I hope.
Sorry to hear about this, looking forward to hearing some good news on the details.
Hang in there!
Oh 2P, you are a dreadful worry! You're giving me grey hair! Can't you look after yourself better than that?
Hope you haven't done anything too nasty to your shin. Take care and try and stay in one piece! I'll keep my fingers crossd for you.
Crutches or wheelchair? I hope it's the former. The latter wouldn't go too well down Nellies.
Thanks for the poem (and for not using 'spewin').
Geez mate - that's no good at all. So is this an actual injury, or did you zig your way into the coffee table at shin height?
cant walk after a training run?
welcome to ultramarathon running!
another long run will fix your injury ;)
quack
best of luck at pmc mate.
maybe it can be called poor mans western states this year!
Hey 2P
It's not like you to not blog for so long. Give us an update otherwise I'm going to have to speculate and you won't fair well if I do.
Just saw your post on the PMC thread on CR. Bugger :-(
Hi 2P! How you doin'?
sorry to hear youre out of pmc mate.
Gee this post didn't sound to good. It is kind of old too.Are you trying to beat my record of absence between blogs?
Where are you 2P ????
Hi 2P, I haven't visited for a while being out injured myself and suffering a real drop in motivation. I haven't been blogging much. But I thought I would just drop in anyway and say hello. Hope all is well.
Don
Hey 2P, we miss you around here, hope all is well mate.
Where are you 2P???
Yes, are you OK? A concrete report will do.
Yay - you're back bloggin...... ok I'm a bit behind the times. Have had my head down and bum up preparing for this weekend and have to go put my head myself back in that space for a little longer - just dropped by on a little break to say 'Hi 2P'
Vicki
