This is a hurried entry, written in my iPhone. I could not do my 4 mile run yesterday because of an early meeting and some preparation required. I headed out at lunch time today, running along the canals as slowly as possible. It really is a case of squeezing it in between other tasks. And tomorrow is long-run day so energies must be conserved. It is mild, clammy at times and so the breeze was most welcome; most refreshing. My allergy is really acting up. I am sneezing and tickly and my windpipe is a bit, teeny bit, sore when I run. I have just bought a nasal spray thing, hopefully this will work. Otherwise, it needs to rain or I will have to take an anti-histamine which won't suit me.
Tomorrow I only do 11 miles. A thing of nothing! I'm glad though. My legs have not yet forgotten last Sunday.
"Well, you will never run a marathon." Etty suffers from ongoing Sarcoidosis which is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily involves the lungs. Niamh, her sister, likes to run and is going to run the Cork City Marathon on June 6th to raise funds for those suffering from chronic lung diseases. This blog will be a parallel account of their trials and tribulations in the coming months: the would-be marathoner; the mother-of-three moving home and struggling with serious, ongoing Sarcoidosis.
You're doing GREAT, Niamh. Well done!
