Had a accident yesterday. Who knew mixing bleach and toilet cleaner would create a toxic chloramine gas? I inhaled it while cleaning the potty and then spent time with poison control. It burned/iced/froze my lungs up so I couldn't breath. It was pretty scary for about 30 min's. It will slowly get better but it sucks that the marathon is tomorrow. It all makes sense to me know. I always clean the toilet this way but this time I was actually kneeling by the potty so it made the fumes worse. But in the past when I have felt like my lungs were wrapped with a rubber band now I know why... like last year at STG marathon. I cleaned the house and toilets the Thursday before the race.... 

Anyways I'm going to live. I'm actually going to go up and see what happens at the race. I've been too pumped up for this race to not show. I'm not sure what will happen but between now and then hopefully a miracle. 

Jogged over to the park this morning and then from there down to River road I tried MP. It was hard and I couldn't have did it for 26.2. Then kind of cooled down another mile. I had to see what would happen and maybe kind of help my lungs work the junk out of them.

Devastated doesn't do this justice.

Bummer! Yeah sucking in those kind of things can jack you up, I have a good story about that for you sometime. I hope you recover quickly!

Dude that totally sucks. I guess this is a lesson for everyone to not do any housework in the days leading up to a big race! But in all seriousness, really sorry this happened. Hopefully you'll feel alright tomorrow.

Geeze Clyde - be careful about that kind of stuff. I am glad you weren't seriously hurt. I had the same type of experience once with the chlorine in the pool, it about knocked me right out.
