I revel in using semi-colons; I just can't get enough of them.
The cycle of futility. It's all far too close-to-the-bone for my liking MLCM.
I used bronchitus as an exuse for a couple of months; now I've damaged something in my knee kick-starting my old Enfield.
There was a good article on marathon running a few weeks back:

Interesting if only to offer another perspective; and to suggest that marathon running isn't the be-all-and-end-all of running.
Good luck fella.
ps. I'm currently quoffing Tyskie. Better then Stella and reassuringly inexpensive.
