I'm still gonna do it.
Yesterday I finally gave in and got a temporary disabled permit. While it will reduce some physical stress in the short term because I won't have to walk so far when I park some place it is also an admission of severe infirmity.
But walking distances has become a challenge unless the pace is slower than I'm used to. It will take a few minutes once I get to my desk to recover my heartrate and breathing. It really is the lowest physically that I've been aside from the direct effects of the stem cell transplants.
In spite of this I still want to someday do a triathlon. This dream hasn't faded. It has perhaps become a bit more of a distant possibility instead of a certainty that I would finish.
But this much is always true - if there is something in your life you want to accomplish and you never try you *will* fail to accomplish that thing. If you make an attempt no matter what you think your chances of success then you will always be able to hold your head up and say 'I tried'. And it is possible you might succeed.
But if you never try then you never had a chance.
