The training was going along nicely I was up from my normal 8 miles to about 20 miles a week, not much but no injuries, things were going well. Then disaster, the day before I move house I’m diagnosed with a fairly serious illness, which will seriously hamper my training with the treatment lasting well into 2008.
I consider contacting Dario and asking him to rip up my application but then have second thoughts and decide that the thought of the race will keep me motivated to try and keep some form of fitness throughout my treatment and if I recover in time I may still be able to participate.
