Sick

The damn malady going through our area hit both my wife and me yesterday.  I am very sick, with a fever of 100.3, achy all over, phglemy, coughing and sneezing.

I was bound and determined to keep running although this morning I did my five miles in a pattern:  I did three miles, then because I was exhausted and hurting, I rested about five minutes and did another mile, then rested and did the final mile.  Today was the first day in a long time that I absolutely did not want to run at all.  But I needed to force myself so as to keep going.  I am glad I did, although I had to modify it to a 3+1+1 pattern.  That still counts as five.  And for how badly I currently feel, it was the best I could do.

I am going to take an aspirin and lay down for an hour.  I have class to teach, but it is not until 10:30 today.  I can let some of the b*llsh*t paperwork I had planned to do this morning, slide for a bit.  But, of course, I have to also get crap ready for the Department Meeting tomorrow most all of the rest of today after class.
