I’m going to have to be a really poor excuse for a human and say that this month’s milestone is to simply stay alive.
I’m posting this in the middle of an existential crisis which is taking place at 2am in the critical care unit of the hospital that I’ve now been admitted to (and had my life saved by) twice in as many weeks. I want more than anything to run, mentally I’ve never needed a run more than right now, but it just isn’t possible right now.
Raising money for charity by doing this isn’t really working out at all (there are links to my JustGiving page somewhere on this blog, I’m not going to bother finding them again because I kinda get the message) which kinda sucks. I was going to pick a diabetes charity to fundraiser for this month, seeing as it’s diabetes awareness day (today actually I think?) and also the month in which I was diagnosed with diabetes 17 years ago.
I was also going to keep at the whole running thing, but I had to adjust my goals to try and not make this month so far feel like a failure (believe me, it all feels like more than that). Maybe I’ll find a better milestone for the days that are left of the month when I get out of here. But right now, staying alive seems like the toughest challenge I’m going to face for a long time. For many reasons.
