Oh No

My immune system has officially crapped out on me, I believe. I guess it was only a matter of time before all these months of stress and upset finally took it's toll on my physical self, since my mental, emotional and spiritual sides have been taking a serious beating.

Yesterday I developed a sore throat. Today my energy levels are incredibly low. I napped for - get this - 3 1/2 hours this afternoon while Chris amused the girls.

(Yes, yes I am glad that my husband is a full time student, allowing me the luxury of all afternoon naps when I'm feeling sick).

I picked up my race kit this morning for Sunday's half-marathon, but unless God grants me a miracle of healing, I don't see how I'm going to be able to run.

I'm not sure how to feel about this, really. In some ways it's a bit of a relief to not have the pressure of running the half, but in other ways it's hard not to feel like this is just another item to add to the list of "things I've failed at".

Who knows, maybe I'll be granted that miracle after all....



...but at this point I'm not holding my breath.
