Last week was a recovery week during training, so my mileage dropped to an absolutely minimum.
Halfway through the week, I noticed a lymph node that had been slightly swollen seemed to almost quadruple in size. I was asymptomatic and had no other implications of viral infections.
Nervous, I backed off running for one day to see if that would help. Perhaps the heat, sweat, etc etc were agitating it.
After six days, I finally went to the doctor and had some tests done.
I've got the green light to run, but I can't seem to shake a feeling of fear.
I hate having a burden of knowledge, and I hate constantly checking myself right now.
I have skipped two more runs since being okayed to run.
I need to run.
I need to run.

Julia get out there and run! Your body needs to release the stress of dealing with doctors. I hope everything is ok! Take care.
Get the eff outside! Take that dog with you!
You can do it! Getting back out there is the hardest part!
I think I found you on the WW boards? I've been reading for awhile, I'm a kinda new, really slow runner. But, your posts seem to be just the encouragement I need some days...
The only thing that will make you feel better is a run--you know that and it's the same advice you would give to someone in your situation. With that said...(((hugs)))
You can do it jules!!!! You'll be glad you did!
