So I have been MISERABLY sick. I will spare you all the gory details, but basically a water main broke in our area which caused low pressure in the water main. Our water company issued a boil advisory to surrounding areas-but we didn't get the memo. Like literally, they sent out a memo...we didn't get it. My house sits on old farm land, so due to low pressure whatever is in the soil can seep into our water. So I have been working out twice a day, and then drinking contaminated water.
AWESOME!!
This all started Tuesday. I hadn't been symptomatic until after a 4 mile run with Scooter. Honestly, I didn't feel so hot during the run but whatever. Scott trains and races with a 5 on, 1 off technique. Where you run 5 minutes, walk 1 minute. I am not sure I love this, but I do it anyway because that's the price you pay for a running buddy right? And honestly, how is it any different than the multiple potty stops I make for G-Skrilla? Running 5, walking 1 is supposed to be good for muscle confusion, endurance and injury prevention. It's just not good for me mentally. The second I stop my stride, I'm mentally broke. Walking feels so good, but running feels so...ouch. It works for Scootz though because he's ran like 856 marathons this way.
I am pleased to announce I made it through that entire run sans complaining! Someone ring a bell, make me a cake and buy me a beer. The less I complain, the more I sweat though. I am really gonna have to start bringing towels for my car because it's pretty gross to get back into your sedan for work and sit down in a soggy seat. ICK!
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU ARE FEELING UNDER THE WEATHER?
HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU TAKE OFF FROM WORKING OUT WHEN YOU ARE SICK?
