I am finally on the upward slope of this stinkin' illness. I started to get sick last weekend and instead of resting up I did back to back 5ks but then I was out for the whole week and barely started feeling better now getting my first workout in today in 7 days!!! But somehow I still did a lot, besides blog, in the time. Time can't stop for me to get sick! It's like those commercials with the mom or dad knocking on the door saying "I'm going to need to take a sick day" and then you just see the little kid looking back at them blankly! I don't have time for sick days! My poor son was sick first and he just barely felt better today! You can see my different stages of grief as I went through it. First was denial, I'm not really getting sick it's just a sore throat that will pass in a couple of days (did 5ks anyway), Oh man I feel like crap I better take a couple of rest days, anger I can't miss more work I'm falling behind! Acceptance I'll just be sick for the rest of my life I'm done working out I'm done caring that there's a mouse in the house leaving mouse turd bombs all over! Now I suppose I'm just dusting off and trying to get myself together.
When you're sick do you just keep going as if nothings wrong? Or do you stop everything and take time to recover and recuperate? What's your favorite home remedy? I always take EmergenC whether or not it works I figure at least it makes me take in more liquids, hubs makes fun of me for this!
So sick and all here's what I was still up to:
Halloween fun, he didn't really know what to do watching everyone in costume, he was kind of quite for it all until we left then he broke loose!
Timing the First Responder's 5k (Puker #1, As I tried to rip his bib number off I could hear it coming so I moved. Then had to yell to a volunteer I still need the pukers number!! Go find the puker!!)
Cooking class! Parboiling, blanching and steaming Queen! But please stop asking me to evenly cut stuff, I mean come on broccoli isn't naturally symmetrical!!
Halloween and retirement parties.
Great Pumpkin Chase 5k pushing the stroller. Wonder Woman and superman! Took it easy since I was running with the stroller and sick, 30 minutes.
Meeting up with an old friend to go to a wedding.
Helping grandma celebrate her birthday!!
Oh yeah and work, mouse hunting, timing a second 5k where I had 2 pukers, Dr. Visits and now trying to get back on track with my workouts and planning our own 5k that we're going to put on! Ready for Festivus 5k for the Rest of Us!!!
HAPPY TRAINING!!!!
Animal Humane Doggie Dash that I never miss with my favorite Doggie! Thanks to her I ran it in 25:10 even though I started at the back since I didn't even realize the race was starting and couldn't breathe when I crossed the finish line due to congestion.
