One of my goals for this year was to run the Cooper Bridge Run (10k) at Charleston, SC this April.
However, this past year my crohns disease has been FAR beyond under control. I have been to the ER/doctors office EVERY month since December 09. And, I have been twice in the past week.

I was talking to my younger sister the other day and I told her I am "afraid" to do it this year b/c of that..... That I am afraid the "stress" of running it will cause me to flare up.... AGAIN....

So, I am going to renew my gym membership, and spend the next year training, and adjusting my diet.... (more organic/ natural/ whole/ raw foods)

And NEXT April, when it comes time to do it, I WILL do it....

And I will RUN EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THE WAY......

I can't let myself give up on this HUGE goal for myself......
I will, however, allow myself to put it on the back burner, while I get my health issues under better control.....





....... besides, I don't want to HAVE to run my butt off because I'm trying to race my bowels to a porta-potty.....( sometimes, they win)
however....
