It's official I'm out of Umstead 100 and looking at 6 - 8 weeks off of running. I am not very good at reading scans but allegedly you can see from the below on the right hand leg (my left leg), next to the oval shape and under the darker line on the edge of the bone there is a stress fracture. Will be becoming a spinning junkie in the meantime in an attempt to remain fit enough to tackle Comrades and then 4 x 100 milers in the space of 11 weeks this summer. Obviously Centurion Running will benefit somewhat also.
8 weeks from the 1st March which was the last run is the 25th April 2011. Wow that seems a long way off....

MRI Scan Wednesday 2nd March 2011. |
Hope recovery goes ahead of plan but don't rush it, just stick to your boring spin. Grand Slam is a big one and given the lottery for WS, you want to make sure you make the starting line. Just think of Comrades as a training run.
