Mike Skinner pulls out of New York marathon with torn muscle

Mike Skinner is gutted. This is because he trained for months to do the New York marathon, but had to pull out at the last minute. He wrote on his MySpace blog: "I can't fucking believe it. I've torn a muscle and I can't run in New York this weekend. Typical. Been training for months and the first time I hurt myself is a week before the race!"
