It's going to be Sunny and 70 today and I am going out and do some cardio working toward my first half marathon at the Flying Pig this Sunday. I am going to do five or six miles of the course to get a feel for what I am up against.

The Team in Training people have been awesome and so helpful. That's who I will be starting the race with and wearing the purple Team in Training shirt on Sunday. I really believe in what they stand for and what they do. Their mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

They have an event coming up next week where you can have a great time and find out about the Nike San Fransisco Women's Marathon.

(people) In the past five days, Bret Michaels was rushed to a hospital after suffering a brain hemorrhage, underwent tests while remaining in critical but stable condition and found out he had a side effect that could lead to seizures. But there's a good chance the rocker won't remember any of it, says one expert.

"Most people [who suffer this type of brain hemorrhage] don't remember most of their hospitalization – they have no recollection," Dr. Melvin Field, director of the Florida Hospital Neuroscience Institute, tells PEOPLE.

Still, Michaels is conscious, talking very slowly and in good spirits, his rep tells PEOPLE.

Doctors usually "give patients some sedation so they don't have pain, and that can kind of make it so they don't remember too much," says Field, adding that having blood in the brain can also cause some confusion.

Michaels will remain under the care of doctors, who discovered the Celebrity Apprentice contestant has a side-effect called hyponatremia, a lack of sodium in blood that can cause seizures. His rep says he has not had any seizures.

Field says the hyponatremia shouldn't be considered a setback. "It's relatively common [in these cases]," he says. "I don’t think it’s going to cause permanent problems. It’s almost like a small road-bump – like having a fever."

Laura and I talked to Big John today and he said "not a lot had changed in Bret's condition and he also said he really appreciated Cincinnati's prayers and well wishes." Please continue to keep Bret in your thoughts and prayers.

Tmz is reporting the following:

Bret Michaels' pr reps confirm that the rocker suffered a "setback" in his recovery from a brain hemorrhage -- and he may now be at risk for seizures.

According to Bret's people -- test results show Bret is experiencing hyponatremia, a side effect from the subarachnoid hemorrhage which is caused by a lack of sodium in the body. The condition can often lead to seizures.

But despite the setback, doctors are still hopeful Bret will gradually improve, "as the blood surrounding the brain dissolves and is reabsorbed into his system, which can be a very painful recovery and take several weeks to months."

Bret's reps also report that the rocker "remains under 24-hour observation in the ICU and is in positive spirits. He is responding well to tests and treatments."

Bret was first hospitalized for the hemorrhage last Thursday night after complaining of a massive headache

I am a huge believer in The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and they work they do. I try to help out whenever I can with their efforts. Over the past few years they have always been on me about running a marathon with the "Team in Training." I always said "I am so not a runner" and they always said you can do it!

This past December I agreed to do a Half Marathon at the Flying Pig...it seemed like a GREAT idea at the time lol. Well I have been training and hope I am ready for 13.1 miles this Sunday morning at 630am :-)

The Team in Training people have been so helpful. I have learned about things that I never knew even existed like: Bodyglide, Chafing and Bleeding, Gel charts, throw away clothing and there are about 1,000 different types of running shoes.

I will keep you updated on my progress and countdown to Sunday's Flying Pig Marathon.

We got word Friday afternoon that Poison frontman & reality-star, Bret Michaels, had suffered a massive hemorrhage near his brain stem. We talked to his longtime friend "Big John," who confirmed that Bret was in the ICU, in critical condition, at an undisclosed location.

Bret had an emergency appendectomy on April 13, and doctors say the subarachnoid hemorrhage stems from his recovery from that surgery. Just before his hospitalization, Michaels wrote on his blog that he still wasn't felling well. "I'm not 100% yet ... I have to get my blood sugar back in order, because it's been all over the place because every day I've been real active and you're not supposed to move around yet."

According to Popeater.com, Bret's friends are cautiously optimistic that he will recover, but believe it will forever change his life. "Bret is a fighter and is going to win this battle. But after you stare death in the face, it changes you forever and this is going to change Bret. "When all this is complete, you can bet Bret will say goodbye to the rock star lifestyle and focus on what means the most to him -- being a great dad." "This has scared the hell out of all of us and none of us will ever be the same," Bret's friend explains. "No matter how rich or famous you are, this makes it clear that we are all human."

Bret remains in ICU under 24 hour surveillance. Doctors are still trying to locate the cause of the bleed.
