Mike Skinner won't be hitting the streets

Spend a few hours in the company of Pete Doherty can really do you in: One minute you're planning to run the New York Marathon; then, a joint interview with NME later, and you're unfit to run your eyes over Sarah Beeney.

Apparently, he's torn something:

“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!”

To make matters worse, apparently he can't get the rental money back on the ostrich costume, either.
