Disappointed

I have put off making this blog post.  I have tried my darndest to figure out a way around it.  But because of my recent surgery I am unable to run in the 2010 Torch Run coming up this Saturday - and more disappointing than that - I am unable to partake in the Polar Plunge that I have been raising money for.  Not that I would particularly enjoy jumping into Lake Raleigh, but I was amazed at how much money I was able to raise for such a worthy cause as the Special Olympics.  I had raised $525 so far.  The money that has been donated will still go towards Special Olympics and I am still committed to raising money for this cause and will continue to campaign to do so, but I am unable to run yet (have to give my insides time to heal before I go jostling them all around), and the doc has put a kabosh on me jumping into a nasty lake with incisions that are still healing, risking them getting infected.  I am still considering walking the 5K instead of running it, but I know that if I get there I will be so tempted to run it, so I may have to stay away for my own good.  As odd as it sounds I was really looking forward to this weekend and was excited about it.  I am so disappointed to not be able to participate as I had planned.
