I got one of the coveted ballot places in the lottery olympic run on the 31st of march. I have been so looking forward to it. But three weeks ago I injured my IT band quite badly. I have seen a physio for a few sessions and a knee specialist (had MRI to confirm it wasn't anything more sinister). He did a steroid injection which worked for a few days but I have had a relapse (not through exercising as I have been on complete rest) and it is mega painful again. I am sooooo upset about theolympic run. There is only 4 weeks left (as the helpful email they sent out today reminded me) and I just can't see how I have any hope of doing it. I am so sad.
