So it has been a while. This break from running and blogging was brought to you by Pneumonia, which I have been dealing with for the last three weeks I thought it was bronchitis and a sinus infection, to be fair, may have started that way. Just so my husband feels vindicated, might have stayed that way if I took some time off from work and rested before pneumonia forced me to do that. So since mid-march I am pretty sure my mileage has not reached double digits, however a couple of attempted runs did almost result in my passing out, due to lack of oxygen.
All of this is to say after yet another medication change I am finally back among the living and feel like myself. Today I was able to enjoy a little 3 and a half mile run with my hubby. I also finally got through this ridiculous work period and got an important reminder about taking it easy sometimes. I have some weekend work and out of town trips coming up, but I think I will balance them with leaving early on slower days and finding some down time. I am looking forward to getting back in the swing of my fitness activities and back to some regular blogging. So far 2014 has been a challenging one. I am looking forward to the return of warm weather and running.
Also apparently I have reactive airway disease and now have a brand new inhaler and Singulair to take during the allergy season before I run. According to my Dr. this will prevent the regular cases of bronchitis I get a coupe of times a year. Here's hoping.
Today I am grateful to have some energy and super grateful to be able to run!
Glad to hear you're feeling better, Kathy! I had pneumonia once and I can't think of any single other curable condition that knocks you out like that! Take it easy getting back into things!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brian. I have been easing back in. Even cancelled an evening event this week. Pretty tired at the end of the day did not think I was up for a 14 hour work day.
DeleteSorry to hear about the pneumonia :( I'm glad you're feeling better and that the new medicine may help even more!
ReplyDeleteThanks I do feel better. Even got some regular running in this week.
