Boston Marathon Withdrawal

I am formally withdrawing from the 110th Boston Marathon due to injury. An aggravated peroneal tendon on my right foot, triggered by stepping in a hole during my run, twice, has caused me to take a complete rest in my training, thus not allowing me to be fully prepared for Boston. This is ultimately depressing, but I have no other choice. Twenty-six miles on hills would only further damage the foot. I will be posting my racing schedule for the remainder of 2006 shortly.
