I’ve been in the process of recovering from various illnesses that I somehow incurred on Thursday. By Saturday, it seemed like the only remaining symptom was a sore throat. Let’s just say that I’ve really been in need of a good expectorant lately. Well, I figured that a sore throat wouldn’t keep me from doing my run this morning. We were scheduled for 16K. I thought that would be manageable. I ran fairly slowly with two other people. We were taking it easy. In the heat, there’s no point in burning out quickly. Well, about midway I started feeling a little bit uneasy in my gut. I had to walk it out a few times. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to puke or not. It felt like my gastrointestinal system from my throat to my stomach was just clogged with mucus. I wasn’t feeling well at all. I didn’t have the greatest run, but I was able to complete it. That’s all that mattered by the end. When I got home though, it seems like the act of running just aggravated things. I was running a little bit of a fever and had to lie down for a good spell.
I really need to take better care of myself. Lately I can’t help but feel like my immune system isn’t behaving properly. It’s not jut because of the recent burst of illness, but in general I’ve just been feeling a little bit weaker than I should be. Maybe it’s in my head. Why did I insist on running even if I was recovering? Didn’t my actions just set my recovery back by a few days? Time will tell, I guess. Tomorrow I will start anew. Maybe by then I’ll be farther along on the road to recovery.
