As
race day grew closer I was feeling confident in my effort to run 12-hours and
55-60 miles while raising almost $3,000 for the Nevada SPCA. A week before the race, while on a training
run, I fell and broke a bone in my hand/wrist.
I was upset but figured heck its my hand I can at least still run. That was until I went to see the orthopedic
doctor and he said I broke the worst possible bone in my body and the hardest
bone to heal properly because of low blood flow to that area. He was very adamant that I should not run the
12-hour run this weekend or run at all for about month to prevent further
damage to the bone. If I don’t listen to
him I run the risk of needing surgery, which is a very difficult surgery to do
and recover from. Needless to say I am
not running this weekend or at all for at least a month.
Run
For Fido is not dead since I have a 56-mile run I was planning to do in
June. I will continue my fundraising
efforts through June and that race. The
good news is that I have more time to meet my financial goal of $3,000. You can still follow my adventure on my Run
For Fido Facebook page and lets face it this has really turned into quite an
adventure!
Thank
you for those who have donated and supported me, I will be running in no time
at all. The dogs, NSPCA, and I
appreciate your support. If you know me
well you know my determination is relentless!
Thank You!
Coach Cyndee
