Well after a bit of a rough weekend with what was very likely a nasty flu/bug, I was in to see the GP as I was concerned that my symptoms (which are better not discussed in polite company) were related to my lymphoma or my Gallbladder. I was informed that it was very unlikely to be related and most likely a bug or the nasty little flu going around lately, but either way I was dehydrated and needed some blood work to make sure all was as expected.
I have had a quick look at my test results and although I am not a doctor they all look very good to me so I am going on the premise that Lori and I are leaving for Boston tomorrow and I will be running the marathon next Monday April 16th and unless the GP connects with me tonight we are leaving the house in our friends very capable hands and heading out in the morning.
If you are interested , you can track my progress through the marathon by going to www.baa.org and using the track an athlete area follow bib # 8391 starting at 10AM EST. I am hoping to do the race in around 3:15 but will happily take whatever the day brings me. I am not bringing my cell phone with me but will be updating the blog while I am there as well as having access to my email and texting through Lori's phone.
I guess for now that about covers things so cross your fingers and send me your good thoughts for Monday as I am going to need all I can get...
Cheers
Don
