I am trying very hard not to feel sorry for myself. \u00a0For the most part, I am succeeding.<\/p>\n
As long as I do not dwell on the events of this past week, I do okay. The Dr’s office visit this morning, though, had me feeling defeated, I have to admit.<\/p>\n
For the most part, I can deal with any bad thing that comes my way by heading on out for a quick run. \u00a0The endorphin’s kick in and everything gets a rosy sheen. \u00a0Life is good.<\/p>\n
Today, I had a check-up appointment with my Doctor regarding that silly concussion. \u00a0The news was not what I wanted to hear, but I must admit that I was not too terribly surprised, either.<\/p>\n
My hopes of running the Chicago Marathon are dwindling rapidly.<\/p>\n
I have one, maybe two more weeks to recover from this thing. \u00a0If I have not fully recovered, I will not have enough time to get enough training under my belt to be able to run the race.<\/p>\n
I must admit to being a little blue.<\/p>\n
I absolutely CANNOT let myself get too worked up about this, though, because the one way I deal with this type of disappointment is to go for that run. \u00a0And I cannot do that.<\/p>\n
I cannot find solace in food.<\/p>\n
I cannot take the dog for a walk.<\/p>\n
I cannot do anything except sit here. \u00a0And cry.<\/p>\n
I’m sorry. \u00a0I have been a HUGE Debbie Downer this week. \u00a0I think I’ve cried more this week than I have my entire life.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, I promise to be happy. \u00a0Really! \u00a0I promise!!!<\/p>\n
Happy Friday, everyone!<\/p>\n
