May the month of pain

Since Decmber 2013 I had been training to do my first half marathon the Woody's Half. I had been so devoted to my training and ran in the blizzards of Alberta in -42 degree weather.  The beginning months of May I was sitting at work and all the sudden I was in the most severe pain I had ever been.  I raced home and so did my hubby. I suffered in pain not being able to walk and saw the dr. She didn't know what was wrong, 4 days later I was told a cyst on my ovary had ruptured and I could no longer do the race because I could potential ruture another cyst on the other ovary. Needless to say I was totally and completly devestated because I had bragged to everyone how I was doing my first half marathon, then I realized why should I have to be afraid of disapointing other people, when I should be concerned for my health?
