Can I tell you that I am no where ready for either?
I was at the disadvantage of being diagnosed with Bronchitis this spring. It knocked me on my tail! I have no idea how I ever managed to continue to play ball and go to class when I had it all the time in college. Either this time was really bad or the ability to nap during the day during college was a godsend. I refuse to believe that age plays a factor.
The first 7 days of antibiotics and cough medicine did nothing for me, just put a dent in it. So, when I hit day 14 of still not feeling well, I went back in to the see the doctor again. This time it was continue the cough medicine, 7 days of steroids and an asthma inhaler. It took another solid week and a half, but I FINALLY can breathe again.
Of course, during all that down time, I seriously slacked on fundraising AND training. I committed to raising $3,600 by June 1. If I don't hit that number...well it comes out of my pocket. So, if you have NOT donated today...please do so!!! It is a penny less than I have to come up with. Already donated, ask your friends, give up a beer and donate again. Isn't a cure for cancer worth a little sacrifice?
Training for 13.1 miles has also taken a major hit as well. First it was 4 weeks of not being able to breathe and then struggling to walk around the building. I can do that now...but some how not doing anything made my IT Band worse. On Friday night, I had resorted to pain pills and not being able to step up into the trailer. However, I refuse to let it stop me. Stretching, rolling, ice, Epson Salt baths...I WILL run this race darn it.
So, I am begging you to help. I am not giving up on training...help me with the fundraising.
I am Refusing to Sink...my motto I see daily!
I need your help today!
