Okay, so just when I am pumped up to get into full-on training mode for the half marathon (less than 7 weeks to go -by the way) I start feeling really lousy. I felt like I had a bad flu without a fever. Really run down, tired - no exhausted was more like it. On Tuesday I started feeling itchy on my back. On Wednesday the itchy turned to a pain kinda like needles being poked into my back. By Thursday, I had a full blown shingles rash, and the pain, and the flu like symptoms. I talked to the doc and she put me on a round of meds for both the pain and the breakout. MAN! Did someone upstairs forget that I am suppose to be training for what is to be the next biggest accomplishment of my life? Helllllllllllooooooooooooo? I don't have time for this!
So Friday I laid around most of the day and went to Justin's partners retirement party. It was bitter sweet. We will miss Steve, but Justin is now part owner of the company he's put so many long hours into. I think that party did me in because I spent all Saturday in bed, asleep. Thank you hunny for watching the kids all day while I slept. Today I've done some things around the house and yard but am still taking it easy while I recoup. WOW, who knew a few little bumps could wear me down so hard?
