So, I have a bit of bad news. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease couple years ago, and I've been healthy for the last 10 months or so, but I'm feeling some pains these days. Last year, I had a similar experience where I started having attacks after some of my runs. I tried to muscle through it but I ended up in the hospital with my intestines swollen shut and had to have a section surgically removed. Probably more than you wanted to know, but I'm worried about it happening again. The pains are reminiscint of last year.

Ragnar may have been a little too much stress on my system, so I'm taking a little time to recoup. I was really hoping for a good cross season, but it's going to be too late to get back in great shape for tryouts. Anyway, I'm sure things will be fine, I just need to stay healthy.
