If you have 48 mins, take a gander at this interesting documentary on Laras journey to complete a marathon with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (which I have). I died laughing from how much I relate to this situation: Friend: Why are you continuing to train for a marathon when all your doctors have warned you of the dangers? Lara: Because none of them have told me outright not to do it. Friend: But you could die. Lara: Yeah, but thats a worst case scenario. Friend: Lara, most people training for a marathon are not dealing with worst case scenarios like death; their worst case scenario is that their nipples might bleed. I laughed because I just bulldoze my way through difficult situations. If I didnt just do it, despite the pain/difficulty, it wouldnt get done! I laughed because laughing is better than crying.
