Is it awful that I’m not happy for my partner finishing a race?

So my EDS is not as severe as most and I’m lucky. I know that. But this weekend, my partner and most of our friends went and did the Tough Mudder 5K. I didn’t sign up for be because they decided to do it with too little notice for me to train to a point I wouldn’t feel like my body would break doing it.

I’m so proud of him for doing it and I know it was really tough but it’s just made me realise how this is a disability even if it doesn’t always feel like it counts as one. Everyone else got to do this and did it together and I’m just left holding bags and taking photos.

I want to be able to do stuff and share this with them but I just don’t know how long it would be before I was physically in a position to be able to.
