Well the operation went OK. However, I am now on crutches for 2 weeks, restricted to low impact for 3 months after that, so the 3 Peaks and High Peaks Marathon are very very doubtful. Apparently I have had a tear on my cartliage which they have removed but also got a small hole developing in my knee which could in time turn into arthritis. The surgeon has drilled holes in to this area to help promote scar tissue and build it back up, hence no weight on that leg for 2 weeks. He also has said I have torn my ACL (cruciate ligament) but this has been done years ago and I've been managing to run without it !!!

Its going to be a long winter !!!
