It was sad to see Beckham break down in that match last night. The good news for England fans is that it doesn’t seem to have affected the odds on England winning the world cup. Though at 7.00 these seem pretty short I think!<\/p>\n

I really felt Beckham’s pain last night because I have suffered the same injury, I hope his doesn’t have the impact it had on me. I used to be very sporty and where ever I went I always had a pair of trainers packed in my bag. I managed to pretty much “run the world” and completed hundreds of long distance races and became a reasonable runner. I could run a half marathon in the 80’s.<\/p>\n

One day my running career came to an abrupt end. Pushing off from the floor to ‘bust a move’ while dancing with the kids, my achilles went. Not being a sporting superstar, I couldn’t fly to Sweden the next day to get it repaired. Despite trying to get a full recovery, it never healed effectively and my achilles is now so tight and it stops me from doing all those sports I used to love. Running is completely out of the question.<\/p>\n

I really miss being able to compete in sport and its a very tough on the psychology when you want to do things, but just can’t. Let’s hope this isn’t the end to Beckham’s career, it would be a sad way to end it.<\/p>\n
