The good news is I have started training to run a half marathon. The training is slightly different than what I was doing to train for a 5k. My endurance needs work, but I have six months. This is a lifelong dream for me, one I never thought I would be able to realize. But there is no reason I can't be the "sort of person who can run a marathon". I can be. I am.
The bad news is I have gotten a medical diagnosis I am not too crazy about. Lifelong, incurable, painful. Pretty much the three things one does not want in a pain condition. But there are things I can do to help. (Things that do not involve drugs. I am trying physical non-drug therapy first.)
I am also starting personal training. This isn't for the marathon - that is a different sort of training. But my weight loss has plateaued and I need something different to tighten up and push forward.
In short - I am going to be busy and in pain. Status quo.
