Dear Everybody, I am determined not to give up. Realism and optimism are same in helping me go forward on this run. I'd thought of running Paris to Rome 100 percent easy, instead it will be a challenge though not as hard as many.  Challenges AWAYS make one stronger if one doesn't give in. 
SO THIS IS PLAN, StATE OF PLAY!! -
I was fortunate to receive excellent treatment at Fontainbleau Hospital - I have crutches, painkillers. Disimflamm medicine.  There is no serious damage to knee, just v painful and needs care .

I CAN continue I am walking and running a liitlew a hour on and hour off day and night (night is when traffic is lighter.  All of me is getting fitter and the knee is not getting worse..just hanging in.so that I shall be on top form for Rome Marathon w Icvebird on 18 Marc:h!!!
I AM STILL ON I apologise for injuring my knee but injuries happen ..

31 Jan - I am 13 kms from Sens
 And about 200 frm Dijon.

 I plan to make best progress I can towards Dijon - Dijon and Unilever Factory in Dijon is my firt big goal. 
5/6 aFeb Whevever I have reached by then, I must leave Icebird with Unilever Dijon or if before, perhapos with police, or farmer, as I NEED to get train express to Paris to get flight to Edinburgh/train to Perth, as Ihave to give speech at  Royal Scottish Geographical Society H/Q in Poerth on 7 Feb 7.30pm, and I am also being presented with Honorary FellowshiP of the RSGS on the evening, which is a huge honour.
8 Feb will be Back to Paris/Dijon and then On the road..  From Dijon.mLausanne.mTurin.. Florence..
  Speed will improve as knee gets better.. At present it is hard to give time timeframe.  BUT I WILL RUN ROME MARATHON for Unilever  Cancer Charity in Rome with Icebird on 18 March. Also, I WILL BE THERE WITH ic ebird for press conference on 15 March.

  Where I am on road to Rome by 12 March, I will stopn make mark on map.mDRIVE icebird from there to Rome, and then run the rest of the way frtom wherever I stopped to ROME!!!!!!!!
  I apologise, I am writing this email inside Icebird by the side of the road to Sens.  I am so grateful for the love and caring of my family in UK, ireland and America, and for all my frtiends everywhere,  and all my very kind allies and supporters at  Unilever France.

Please email me.

Best wishes,
Rosie
