Hi everyone. This may seem like a very off the wall question, but has anyone completed a spartan race while battling fibro? My daughter attends a private school and the students are all doing the 5k, and parents are being mandated to also do it as part of the supporting the students. I tried to train yesterday for an hour and im now having the worst flare up ive had in a long time. Any tips?
What about the other children whose parents have health issues that prevent them from participating, what will they do?
Can a relative fill in for you?
Can you bring in a doctor's note?
Seems as though the school would need to avoid negatively impacting your health.
How can the school expect working parents to participate?
Perhaps you need to speak sincerely and directly to the school system president.
Since you really seem to want to be there for your child, someone to push you in a race chair, or a power scooter might be a viable alternative.
Oh Lacey don’t do it! get a doctors excuse if need be.
Ask someone who can to push you in a rented wheelchair perhaps?
