Hey All!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. To be completely honest, I have been pretty burnt out since the Humboldt Bay Marathon. The race went well; my body recovered amazingly quickly and spending time with family and friends was wonderful and refreshing.
The day after the run, I started school. A new chapter in my pursuit of certificates! I began taking a series of courses to aid in fundraising for nonprofit organizations. I am very excited and passionate about the subject matter, but my post-stroke brain is having a hard time coping. I forget things so quickly and even forget or lose simple words quite often. I get really tired from the extra strain on my brain.
I get so tired at the end of the day and I’ve been eating poorly and working out less which brings a whole level of frustration with myself. People in my life are so uplifting and positive towards me, but I am still filled with self-doubt and negative thoughts. Still, I have so much for which to be proud of myself! I will keep on truckin’ and maybe even do another race soon.
I am almost 5 weeks into these 16-weeks of classes. Please wish me luck!
