5k was actually a 5 mile lmao
2 years ago
took me a while to get upright. as soon as i got home from the 5k and my friend's bday i came down w pnuemonia and im still feeling pretty rough. got 2 antibiotics, a steroid and an inhaler x.x and a weird chest xray that requires more followup with specialists... love it
the 5k cancer walk was really nice, apart from being twice the distance we anticipated because americans i guess think 5k is branding for a marathon and not an actual unit of measurement. the weather was lovely and it felt good to see people walking in groups to memorialize friends theyd lost or with people who had lived. i saw one lady with a shirt she'd clearly worn every marathon since her treatment and she crossed out the old years and added new years each time, so she was like a 15 year survivor. and seeing that some of the people lost to BC who were being marched for were men and that NONE of the signs/imagery of the walk were gendered was really nice. i mean there was a ton of pink, but what can you do. at least it wasnt all "fight like a girl!" shit which just makes me feel invisible w my cancer story.
i wanted to jump into an october daily draw but obviously ive been kind of restricted by the pneumonia. the last time i had this i was a child and i remember it took a week to clear up before i could return to school. currently, i fall to my knees in a coughing fit if i try anything as stressful as.... changing the sheets on the bed :T
but hey at least i got in to an urgent care in time to avoid hospitalization! whew

i think if it'd been forested trails i couldve walked for far longer, i def do more than 2 hrs walking at the ren faire and that's on dirt. but cities are so unforgiving x.x
now i get to wait a few more weeks to take another xray and see if the affected lung is still smaller than it ought to be...
