Laying in bed feeliing sick as a dog. I must have a touch of the flu but it's kind of freaky to lay here feeling cold, and hot, and nauseous.....just like a year ago! I know I'm a real baby but I hate it. I hope it passes quickly. I suppose it's inevitable that it happen sometime when you're living on the edge of fatique all the time. I know from past experience that I need to take it easy until it passes or else I will regret it big time.
The crazy thing is that even though I felt it coming on yesterday already, I still felt really strong this morning, and I had a great run. I only did the block but within that I did a 2k tempo run in exactly 8 minutes!!! I am very, very proud of that. We used to joke that when you crossed the threshold of the 4 minute km, that you had graduated from jogging to running. When I first managed to run a single kilometer some time early last summer it took me over 7 minutes! To keep it in perspective however, I have run more than 20 kms at that pace in my previous life. Oh well, I 'was' much younger then and I am still very gratified by my 2 kilometers.
Oh and I had to come back to my post to tell you that I just spent the last hour fixing my dedication day numbers which were all screwed up! Doesn't anyone care enough to keep an eye out? Idiots!! I hope it's right now. I ain't even sure, but I'm too sick to care any more.
I'm thinking special thoughts about my sister Teresa today as she and Brett make their final preparations for their Africa trip....and for other reasons as well?
I wish to dedicate day 139 to Dr Ernst, the chemo guy, who made me very, very sick, but made me well in the process.
