Been Sick.<\/p>\n

Past Posts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two years ago I ran the CdLS 5K<\/a>. Someone stopped me recently when wearing the shirt and asked if I knew anyone with CdLS.\u00a0 I said it was just a race I had run.\u00a0 He had a son with CdLS and thanked me for helping raise money for the cause.\u00a0 That was pretty cool.\u00a0 I bought a pair of Pearl Izumi shorts<\/a> to wear for my marathon and reviewed them.\u00a0 I wrote about education in Africa<\/a> as part of my World Vision fundraising.\u00a0 I run a lot on the Midtown Greenway<\/a>, it is a great place to run and bike.\u00a0 Foto Friday <\/a>was from the Outer Banks Killer Dunes 2 mile race.<\/p>\n

Last Year’s Mileage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Run: 39.3 Miles
\nBike: 30.3 Miles
\nSwim: 300 Yards<\/p>\n

This Year’s Training<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week I felt a little off one day, ran the next and felt great, then didn\u2019t feel so well again.\u00a0 On Friday I woke up with a pain in my neck and lower back (when I stretched).\u00a0 I opted not to run and by the evening I was starting to feel achy and exhausted.<\/p>\n

Saturday I woke up with a fever, achy, chills, and still with the 2 pains.\u00a0 I convinced Christy to take me to Urgent Care and we arrived right before a big rush.\u00a0 The doctor spent maybe 10 minutes with us \u2013 listening to my symptoms and quickly checking my body over.\u00a0 She ordered a CBC to check my white blood count.\u00a0 The lab tech had trouble drawing my blood because I was so cold, he managed to get enough to\u00a0 test my blood.\u00a0 We then met the doctor again and she said that things looked fine in my blood so I had some type of virus.\u00a0 She indicated that she couldn\u2019t test me for H1N1<\/a> aka Swine Flu.\u00a0 She also said that she couldn\u2019t prescribe the tamiflu to me anyway so there was no reason to test for it.\u00a0 I was also missing 2 of the \u201cindicating symptoms\u201d of H1N1.<\/p>\n

My symptoms don\u2019t really match any specific virus that I can find online.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have enough for lyme disease<\/a> or West Nile<\/a>.\u00a0 WebMD<\/a> has lots of great diseases that I checked out over time, but none really matched my symptoms.<\/p>\n

I mostly have a fever while I\u2019m sleeping or napping.\u00a0 Which is what I\u2019m supposed to be doing.\u00a0 My temps have ranged from 96.3 to 102.3 since Saturday.\u00a0 Friday was the last time I slept through the night.\u00a0 Every other I\u2019ve been awoken by the fever.\u00a0 When I haven\u2019t had a fever I feel pretty good and life seems normal (except for the being cooped up at home part).\u00a0 But once the fever hits I don\u2019t feel so hot again.<\/p>\n

Luckily, I\u2019ve been able to eat full, regular meals without an stomach or intestinal distress.\u00a0 That is the only upside of my being sick.<\/p>\n

Over the last week I\u2019ve had to miss work everyday, a board meeting for the YNPN in the Twin Cities, SALT (English tutoring), a race, 2 group runs, small group, and had to reschedule an appointment with a physical therapist for my running.\u00a0 Not to mention that it has been an amazing week, weather wise.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m planning on going to a doctor today.\u00a0 Hopefully they will be able to do something for me, besides just rest and drink lots of fluids.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been tweeting about my illness. Check out this link to see what I\u2019ve said\u00a0 #stupidvirus<\/a><\/p>\n

By the weekend I was feeling a lot better, but not quite good enough to risk going for a run or bike.\u00a0 Soon enough.<\/p>\n

This Year’s Mileage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nada.<\/p>\n
