Originally, the whole point of this blog was to write about the crazy adventures (and misadventures) that I experience as I strive to become a functioning member of the Cross-Country Team. That is why the Title is "Run, Katie, Run" and the url is "runningkatie". The idea was to allow my readers to go through the whole running experience with me, and to watch me improve.
Well, I've had this site all summer, and I haven't done much writing about cross-country. But now I have a horrible problem. About a week ago I stumbled into a patch of poison ivy. Now I have a hideous rash. It's on my face. It's on my arms. It's on my legs. It's on my stomach. It's on my back. It's everywhere. And my biggest fear is that it's still spreading.
I've been getting treatment for it, so now it looks a lot better, but it still itches. I'm supposed to stay inside, in the air conditioning, and keep cool. I shouldn't do anything that would cause me to sweat. And that means no running.
No running.
No running. I can't believe it. At first I thought that the rash would clear up right away and that I would only have to skip the first meet, but this thing could take weeks.
It's already been about a month since I've done any serious running, due to a combination of vacation, respiratory problems, and laziness. But now it's TIME for me to start running again, and I just can't.
I don't know how much more of this I can take.

Poisen ivy sucks!
Sorry that you can't go running, buddy. Just remember that you really do want it to get better.
