Murphy's law and my running..

It's been a good year with Lot's of running .. around 8-10 Half marathons and many more 10K/5K's averaging to 30-50 KM/ Week. Either on Road or on a treadmill..
All my Official Marathons this year had to be cancelled due to an ACL and an ITB, the Doc who advised me, that getting back in shape/ life is more important than running.. and I agree that running should be enjoyed for ever till we live and not just event based..
Seems like the Murphy's law is been applied in my Running here,
" If anything can go wrong, it will"
All it happened due to my over enthusiastic running aiming to complete my personal best in the Delhi Marathon, I was running an average of 18Km/ Day till I found that some thing is wrong with my left knee, this is the time I consulted a sports Medico who happens to be runner first and a Doc.. ( or Vice verse)..
Well the Good doc Identified it as an ACL and an ITB.. Though I passionately hated all these biological Jargon's from my school days.. I tend to learn about them by Googling.. Oh Yeah.. I tell people don't use your brains while you google ( and Vice verse)
Well, Though I generated quite a bit of Interest among my colleges and got them addicted to take a bit of running.. Feel nostalgic to miss some of the events happening around Bangalore.. Now that I'm Recovering by doing some strengthening and RICE therapies..
Will stay focused to be back on road i First week of Jan-09 ( God Willing)..
