Wednesday evening was depressing.  I used to be up for 4 hours in a lot ache that I used to be doing that factor whenever you really feel so terrible—> you reevaluate your complete life and what you will do higher whenever you get an opportunity to really feel nicely once more (I’ve bought a protracted to-do record now).  

In a while within the day I lastly bought to make an appointment with a Gastroenteroligst.  I used to be sick of being sick and the pressing care medical doctors guessing primarily based on signs after which filling me up with medication.  It was very nice to satisfy with a specialist that is aware of these things very well and what assessments I want.  This physician was superior and spent a very long time with us asking each element potential which was very nice.  

To be trustworthy, I’ve no need to run proper now.  I’m too weak and too sick.  That doesn’t imply I’m not ridiculously bummed (there have been an excellent quantity of tears) about lacking this race.  I do know at this level that if the thought of driving 3.5 hours to the race is an excessive amount of for me there isn’t a approach that 26 miles of working could be okay.  Plus, I’m not trying to run a marathon for enjoyable proper now, I’m trying to run it at a 6:48 tempo.  

Although I do know my physique isn’t in a spot to run a marathon I nonetheless requested my physician his opinion (so I didn’t really feel like a wuss) concerning the race and he stated completely no.  He stated that it could make the issue worse and set me again much more.  I agree.

So… he desires me to get a scope at present (I’m simply excited to not really feel sick for 4 hours whereas I’m underneath;) and blood work.  I can’t stay off of rice eternally and really feel nauseated all day so I’m very grateful to be working with somebody that’s simply as keen as I’m to get me feeling higher.  It’ll all work out. 

I’ve a variety of ideas about the entire thing and I’ve no strategy to arrange them right into a paragraph so bullet factors are the place it’s at:

-I’m much more hungry now for that sub 3.  As soon as I’m higher and working once more this complete state of affairs will inspire me much more.  It’ll make the end line of my subsequent marathon that rather more particular.  

-Even when all of this coaching goes to ‘waste’ I’m not mad about it.  I might be mad concerning the final 4 months of coaching arduous with out the chance to race proper now if I hated coaching and I used to be forcing myself to do it… however I really actually love the method.  I really like pushing myself, I really like how coaching makes me really feel, I really like seeing the expansion and I’m stronger mentally due to the final 16 weeks.  So, these early morning runs/yassos/tempo miles weren’t a waste in any respect as a result of it was all work however it’s my favourite sort of work.

-I’ve the proper race lined up and I’ll inform you all about it as soon as I enroll and it’s for positive.  My coach is able to regulate issues accordingly so once I get unhappy occupied with St. George I consider the brand new race.

-Talking of my coach, a quote from him after we had been speaking on the cellphone yesterday: “Shiz (I believe he stated a unique phrase although;) occurs.”  Sure, sure it does.

-I killed my half-marathon in August and I’m simply going to maintain feeling pleased with that 1:21 race.  

-I positively suppose that stress has an enormous half to do with no matter is occurring.  Once I was telling a buddy (a buddy that is aware of the small print of my previous marriage/causes for divorce/post-divorce state of affairs) about how massive of a wuss I really feel like for simply having a foul month and my physique going nuts due to it—>  she jogged my memory I’ve had excessive stress (with some breaks in between) for the final 2.5 years straight and perhaps my physique simply had sufficient.  Megan D is at all times proper.  

-This quote although:

-There are loads worse issues occurring on this planet proper now and my coronary heart actually breaks over these issues. 

-Earlier than seeing the physician I saved worrying about ‘what is going to my weblog readers suppose if I don’t race’ after which I spotted it could be irresponsible for me TO race.  I might be a foul instance to place a race above my well being and I received’t try this.

-The downs in life make us develop.  I’ve bought a variety of rising to do and I’ve the selection how you can react.   

-What elite Tina stated once I requested her earlier than seeing the physician.  Operating will at all times be there for me when I’m prepared once more.  PS she would possibly cease texting me since I at all times take screenshots of what she says and submit it.  

-This little face.  She’s my world and I’m so past fortunate to have her.  She gave me 50 hugs yesterday.  My household is ridiculously good to me and I’m actually blessed to have them.  

————————————-

Just some extra issues:

-I believe we each have 101 Dalmatians memorized by now.

-After the medical doctors we stayed at my sister’s and I had a fairly nice view from the sofa.  

-My nieces performed with Brooke for hours and made this for me so yeah, they’re the very best.  

-I’ve bought an unbelievable recipe for you (it’s going to in all probability be pinned like loopy;).  Rice and broth.   I can’t cease making it.  

-This quote that my sister despatched.  It’s an actual good one.

-I can’t thanks sufficient for all the candy feedback yesterday and emails.  You guys actually are the very best and I hope I is usually a help for you too WHENEVER you want it.
