Out of service

I am currently in Vienna in Austria for another work trip and saw Ewen's message on my previous post. Thanks mate for your concern.

I have been out of action due to injury yet again. I had the incredible high of the Boston Marathon earlier in the year but the period since then has been a non event. I have had a persistent groin injury the whole year and have not been able to shake it. The injury has received noodles of rest and physio and yet it persists. A scan in mid-year did not show anything spectacular but every time I run I can feel pain and tightness to the groin. I strongly suspect it is all nerve related and wonder if I have nerve entrapment. A lot of wiring has to make its way through a narrow passage from leg to torso and I think the electronics and other engineering in that part of the world is suffering from overload.

I have run out of answers and I have to admit to feeling very down about the whole thing. I have had a few other non-running related difficulties of late as well and the less said about this year the better.

Rest heals all wounds. I shall return.
