Its with regret that I have withdrawn from the Melbourne Marathon due to illness, after 2 weeks - its in my best interest to take care & look after myself & not risk further damage to my body. I will however still be in Melbourne to cheer on and watch all our runners finish the 10km, 3km, half marathon & marathon. This wasnt an easy decision to make, and I have made the decision early, so I can now focus on getting better & looking after the rest of those running Melbourne! I was to lead a group of our members aiming for sub-3hrs - Thomas Strachan, Andrew MacPherson, Clint Sloan, Leon Bowes, Steven Bishop, Mark Ainsworth & Wayne Jones - however based on their training efforts they will be right without me!
