Pressing Through the Unforseen Challenges

Well ... the surgery was a bit more than I thought.  It ended up requiring 20 stitches, and the doctor said I could not run in my 16 mile training event.  He said that I needed to do no strenuous exercise for a week and a half.  When I pressed him on this he said that if I ran, the increased blood pressure would likely pop my stitches, and they'd end up dragging me off the course.

So, not only did I not get to run my "Meeting before the Meeting," I have been set back in my training.  This is not good.  How often life seems to throw these curve balls our way.

I will do my best to regroup, but I am not sure just how yet.
