I'm Out--- No Marathon

I have bronchitis. It is viral, so it is not responding to antibiotics that I've been on for 5 days. Feeling worse and running a fever. Developed the cough during the night. It burns in my chest.

Running 26.2 in 30-degree weather is not advised.

My 9-year old and husband are sick, too.

This marathon just wasn't meant to be.

I'm so sorry. You must be really disappointed. Feel better, and know that there will be other races.

Oh NO!!!! I am so sorry! I know how disappointed you are. But as others have already said, there will be plenty of races. But still.... I am heartbroken for you.

Take care of yourself. Feel better. (((hugs)))

I don't really agree with the guy who posted above me... ;)

Anyway, at least you know it wasn't meant to be. It's not like you were too tired or you had a headache and just opted out. You are certifiably sick! Get healthy and hopefully you can find another marathon in the next few weeks to run!
