Personal: I was a single mom. Two times over. We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions. Then, I met a man I didn't deserve. And he loves me so much. And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer. Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now. But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway. This is my failure blog now. Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded. Favorite Blogs: |

| | My diagnosis: "pneumonia with acute asthma exacerbation". I was told I had asthma when I was a smoker many moons ago.
Anywho, no run. no work. sitting at home with meds and steroids and breathing treatments trying not to move around too much. I knew I was in trouble at work last night, started having major problems in the wee hours of the morning. I told my partner, dude, I think I have pneumonia....can't breathe. I was right.

| | Still have pneumonia. Still can't breathe if I do much more than sit around. Will see doc on Wednesday to decide if I can go back to work. Psycho this weekend is pretty much off the table. I will probaby feel better but will be risking relapse and more serious illness. My left lower lobe is especially bad. Boston is the key race this spring, so I need to think about that and get recovered now while there is still time and let these other races go for now.

| | I went to the doc today. The pneumonia is worse, I have more in the right lung now. We switched to a different antibiotic and hopefully this one does the trick. I am still banished to a life of laying around the house, not working, and not exercising. I hope I sit throught this weekend, the med works, and I can start back to normal life Monday. I am not patient with this type of stuff!
This is definitely a game changer in Boston training. I think I will be forced to switch to lower volume and higher quality to maximize recovery and rest periods, at least for this spring.

| | Slept very late but got up feeling almost normal today, even had enough energy to clean house and pay bills. I might even go for laundry next. My Mom came and listened to my lungs, still rice krispies on teh right side but over all much clearer and much less wheezing. Yay, the new med is working. I'm thinking as long as I'm compliant and live the couch potato life through the weekend, I can be back to business as usual Monday.

| | Slept well, woke up feeling normal. Resting heart rate was back to 50. So....I jogged 30 minutes very very easy on the home treddy--no shortness of breath. Then I stopped and showered and now am relaxing.
