more IBD focused:
“Worse things happen in a flare, flares have happened to me, so don’t let this beat you,
don’t you dare!”
It worked, as I made it to the top with everyone else and summited the other two
mountains as well, completing the challenge in 23 hours and 13 minutes.
Doing both challenges had left me very stiff and with pain in my feet, calves, left hip and
thighs, but it was all worth it. The pain strangely gave me a great satisfaction of pushing
myself to the limit and all BECAUSE I have IBD. Although it hurt everywhere, there was
one place it didn’t hurt….my stomach. I wonder what I’ll do next BECAUSE I have IBD?
