I am lucky if I get in about 10 seconds, then I am done! I think 20 minutes of treadmill running and lifting and putting down a medicine ball once is a much better workout than running for 12 hours.

I finally had to put it away in a closet -- they ignored it for six months before realizing it's tasty -- because they started to bite chunks out of it.

I know I will have another chance.<br /><br />Hope you will get better soon.

I think I even cried! After all you have accomplished this year you can definitely take some time off to get back to 100%. I am amazed at all you have accomplished! Take it easy and get better.
