I'm still going to try

My half marathon training was supposed to start on Monday.  My surgery was yesterday, and I was told about 2 weeks for everything to be settled down.  I can't shower until tomorrow, I can't take a bath for 10 days.  I can walk though any time.  I'm thinking that I can pull off the half training even if I start into it 4 weeks late.  I will just take it slow and build up from there.  I'm not going to give up.  I'm going to give it my all, but I certainly won't kill myself to do it.  If I can, great, if not, I'll find another one.  I just have so much renewed hope this week after something finally went my way.  Not that I like having an illness that isn't curable, but it's something that can be treated.  It can be lived with.  I have been living with it for this long, why not get on with my life?

Great attitude, girl!!

Walking is certainly better than nothing and you'll probably be fine with your training. But if not, don't worry about it. There are plenty of other races out there, just waiting for you. Find the one that works for you when you are ready.

Good luck!!!

I wish you a speedy recovery! I think you will be able to do the race. If not, not....no worries. At least you tried.

You got plenty of time. Keep your chinup.

good attitude girl! the most important thing is for you to heal. if that means forgoing training for awhile or picking a new race, then so be it. health should come first. you have a strong personality so you will be up and running in no time.
