My leg hurts when I run, despite a cortisone shot, anti inflammatory patch, compression sleeve and oral medicine. I am sick of it and I don't even have a diagnosis.
I am on my third course of antibiotics since May for saddle sores in unmentionable places that will not heal until I give up riding.
I am sick with an upper respiratory bug and an irritating little cough, unh, unh.
But guess what?
I am training for an Ironman! In four short weeks I will be standing on the beach at PCB. How freaking awesome is that!!!!!!!

When I read the title to your post I was really worried. Glad that despite everything, you're still going to give it a shot! You NEED to go see Dr. Dec. She will be sure to give you a diagnosis and put you on the road to recovery!
Are you getting enough sleep? I know you are quite busy with training & family obligations, but be sure you rest....lots. Your house will be clean again after Nov 1.
Go Kate Go! I cannot wait to see you finish!
You poor thing... but no matter how hard and frustrating things are, it's hard to believe that we'll be there so soon! Maybe we can meet up???
glad to see the attitude is still strong! Way to hang in there and keep on plugging. Race day will be here before you know it!
