Well I Did It….

and resisted the Tuesday Tempo.  In all honesty, I don’t think anyone would be shocked when I say I’m okay with no tempo. Because I hate them.  I do hate giving up a workout but I really was out of it all day Tuesday.  Wednesday too.  That, however, was due to a double shot of this guy:

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeello good night of sleep

Which I did again last night.   Nope to the wine, I decided that I’d save it to celebrate being well afterward 😉  I was a bit surprised at how shocked y’all were that wine was being handed out at a baby shower…the funny thing is that I wasn’t.  I don’t really know what that says about me!

A couple of you suggested going to my doc about me feeling not so well.  I did see a doc at the clinic earlier this week who basically said to wait and see and, if me not feeling well didn’t clear up by next week, to make an appt with my PCP.  My lungs are still clear, despite my sexy voice at the moment, which is a good thing. I still just have ear pressure and sinus stuff going on.  And a sore throat.  To the non-squeamish: it feels like one giant booger going from my ear through my nose and down my throat.  Only on the left side.  Man, I wish I had a graphic for that!

So yeahhhhh that’s all I got for you.  I really REALLY want to try for a run this morning but (and I’m writing this post Wednesday night, pre-nyquil/sleepytime) I’ll have to wait and see how I feel.  If this morning is a repeat of Wednesday morning then when this post goes up I’ll still be in a coma (I was actually late for work on Wednesday!). Or not because I totally forgot to self-schedule this one hahah.  But I woke up this morning feeling, well nyquil hungover, but much better on the illness front.  No aches so well enough to attempt a “quick” run this morning. I ended up with an hour-ish of really sloooooooooow running.  It just felt good to be out there and moving.   Nothing even close to a  usual Thursday long run but this week was supposed to be a cutback week anyway. Guess it was a good week to get sick right?

My sister sent me this pic the other day and I feel that, given the lack of “real training” going on this week (yes I know that me resting is going to be good for my training but bear with me here because it’s not exciting as intense running/workouts) I’ll share it here.  Because….well it’s just been one of those weeks where I could use a laugh or two.

But on the good news side, lots of the stress that was bugging me the past, oh I don’t know, month(!!) is slowly getting under control.  And turning into excitement / goodness / not worrying.  Yay 🙂
