Sick of being Sick!
After a week of being stuck in bed with the flu I had had Enough! Fourteen hours a day of TV is way Way too much TV for one person. I was feeling some serious cabin fever. A few more days of Tylenol cold and flu, extra soft Kleenex with aloe, and pajamas I was back in the swing of things. I was feeling some major student guilt. Even though my migraine and cold symptoms prevented me from studying I still feel like I should have studied anyways. Bah. Does this student guilt business continue on into the workplace?
There was a rush for some serious academic catch-up this past week. Sacrificing precious sleep for a 35 hour marathon of lab report and essay writing was an interesting experience. All and all I only managed to forfeit one assignment this past week. I rock.
Suffice it to say, fundraising and exercising have taken the back burner. I did however manage to find some time to send off 40 letters to friends pleading for some donations for the CDA. Hopefully a couple of them will come through with some cold hard cash or some great words of encouragement and wisdom.
I’m still feeling a bit uneasy about the whole fundraising process especially with the past few weeks a complete write-off and exams coming in two weeks but I have set a goal of $4500 by the end of May and I plan to make it….as long as I don’t get sick again! Down with the Flu!
About Me
- Taylor
- During my years raising money for Team Diabetes Canada I’ve pushed myself harder and harder to reach ever loftier goals in both my running and fundraising efforts. In 2006 I raised $6000 and completed the 10km race in Iceland. 2008 saw me bring that total to $12,500 and finish the half marathon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Now in 2009, my final effort, I intend to complete my goal of attaining a personal best of $20,000 raised in support of diabetes research in Canada. It is fitting that upon completion of my fund raising goals I’ll follow the victory trail of the first marathon runner ever from the beaches of Marathon to Athens, Greece. I’m well on the road to achieving these goals but will need your help to see them through. I’ll handle the running part but any donations made in any amount, will go a long way to furthering both my race to Athens and the Race for the Cure.

Thanks for Dropping By

Hi Taylor, soory to learn you've been sick. As you may have read on my blog, I was felled by a kidney stone two weeks ago. Took a full week to get over that. Keep up your studies and keep plugging away at the fundraising. Did you ask your doctor for $$ ? The pharmascist? All the best, Peter.
