Whilst this update has nothing to do with running, it does have something to do with my medical past and it could have an effect on this week's runs. I was in two minds if I should put this in or not, but in the warts and all approach I said I'd take I figured why not?!
A few months ago, I was getting very painful cramps in my guts that lasted for several minutes. Being a boy, I put this down to just eating too much or just eating the wrong things again. My other half finally insisted I get myself down to the docs after a few days of feeling especially crap. Following a prod and a poke, and some sample pots, I have been booked in for a pair of internal scans tomorrow.
The scans themselves don't worry me too much, as I'll be sedated. The packets of preparation that I have to take are more of a worry. I've never willingly given myself diarrhoea before, and doing it is not the best way to while away a Sunday evening. I've got to take more of the damn stuff in the morning too. And I'm hungry enough as it is now, only having eaten a bacon sarnie today. I can't eat until at least 4pm tomorrow, but when I do I'm going to start with the remaining bacon in the fridge before ordering a chinese-curried-pizza thing for dinner. And have it with a side order of cheese or something else fattening and good.
This is the tale of a slightly over-weight 30 year old who decided one day that I should give something back to those that have helped me in my darkest time. And that something now involves running the 2017 London Marathon for MacMillan God only knows why I decided this was a good idea.........
