I hate complaining as I know I have a good life; I have a home and partner I love and I like my job. But this month so far has been testing my faith!!

I was ill last May, fairly serious but not life threatening. I was given the all clear in June and began training for a half marathon which is on in 3 weeks (my aim is to complete a marathon before my 30th next August). However last week I started to feel really unwell when running. I went to the doctor; I was told I have a kidney infection and the other illness has reared it's head again. I had to cut out all training so it was essentially for nothing.

To top it all off, a close relative died of cancer yesterday. I knew it was coming but it doesn't stop the news from being upsetting. I haven't cried properly yet, I keep trying to 'control' myself for whatever reason. I also know I shouldn't be complaining about not being able to do a silly half marathon when there are many worse things out there.

Sorry for this guys but I need to offload somewhere at the moment..........

You just wonder what's going to be thrown at you next?


Just ride the storm and i promise you will see daylight soon

I'm so sorry to hear about those problems


Hope the next few days would be better for you, try to make the next few days better and forget about the whole month...

Thanks so much. I hate moaning as there is always someone out there worse off than you. I'm going to try and keep a positive attitude as much as I can.

In a state of misery w/o my Bella
Everyone has their Cross to bare at one time or another...some burdens are worse than others...but they are still your burden and what you are going through at the moment. I hope things get better for you
