All those promises I made, about being a better blogger, pffft away. I, as usual, have great excuses... But none of them change the fact that I have been a neglectful blogger. Although the good news is that I am running! I will come clean with a new "challenge" in my life, and actually, in some respects it is hitting me harder than my breast cancer did. I have an autoimmune arthritis. It is in the same family of arthritis as Michelle Lowery and Paul Petersons ... And, here the kicker (for me) it is degerative, meaning it is going to get worse over time. And, running is not good for it (though I am currently ignoring this part of it). I have been running with a bunch of pain for a little over 4 months, and it is likely I will continue to run, until I can't. It has been around for a while, but got severe after my marathon (physical stress likely contributed to the autoimmune response). Anyway ... I am sure my way too stressful job doesn't help either, and I definitely need to work on this part. Arrrggg! I am on a heavy dose of celebrex, and soon likely some other drug to slow the joint damage down, and I am already feeling better. So, yippee!
AM: 9 miles
PM: no run, wanted to, but couldn't, for a variety of reasons.
