So after much alteration of training plans and deciding not to do any more short events until after the marathon I set out on my first long run of the training plan, 10 miles very slow. I was all kitted out with new waist pack and new mp3 player with radio (i get bored of my own music).
I had a niggle in the left knee all the way, probably caused by Friday's 10k but thought little of it.
Then after 6.5 miles with 'Your The One That I Want' playing on the radio and my thoughts wandering to the leather trousers in that video, my knee just collapsed beneath me and I stumbled to the floor in a heap.
Well that was it I'm afraid, I hobbled home feeling very sorry for myself. It hurts quite a lot now at the outside and back of the knee. Will see how it goes with icing etc etc.
Having read bicyclerepairman's blog post earlier it is just a running injury and it is just a marathon and both of these come and go all the time.

Leather trousers + ONJ = Bad news for male runners....will have to check my Ipod to ensure none of Grease has got on there
Hopefully its only a temporary thing that will clear up with icing and a short rest.
