Yeah Lexx, I'm looking forward to the day that I will be pissed about a 3:19 marathon! LOL Seriously congrats and well done to all you guys, some really nice work here... Now my final advice question and I guess it is going to take some serious warning to get me from my current crazy idea. Since my ITB came out again at the end of Sept I took serious steps back, so training wise I am not where I should be for this marathon, not at all!!!. That is one part of the problem and the smaller problem, I recon one can go far, even underprepared. The other problem is after doing nothing last week (apart from my damm itb exercises) I went for a 10km stroll on Saturday and from 4/5/6 - 10 the ITB was hell.... My thinking is, pitch up Saturday, qualify come hell or high water and hope I am still able to limp to the car afterwards. Then whenever I can walk again next week (even if it takes a cortisone injection I guess) I restart all my ITB rehab and exercises and only do the pissy runs as the physio want and stop whenever I feel the ITB. Then I have from lets say beginning December up until Two Oceans to sort it out (seeing that I could not sort it out from August this year) and hopefully I can get out of it, because I have my qualification now. I cannot see how I can sort this out now, and qualify end of January, without it popping its ugly head again during Dec/Jan when the mileage will be a lot to prep for marathons/comrades. What is the worst that can happen come this weekend with this crazy itb situation, apart from peeing in my pants the whole 40 kays?
