I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

Two slow miles.  All the parts complained here and there.  I just focused on running "normally" and relaxing.  Nothing really hurt, just squawking ;)  When I got home I did 65 minutes of yoga, sort of an Ashtanga/Vinyasa flow.  Very slow and restorative.  It felt REALLY good.

I went to the doc for my rash.  He has a few theories.  For now he is treating my severe discomfort with prednisone.  He gave me a shot in the office and then a prescription for the next 12 days.  The assumption is that I am having a really good allergic reaction to something.  I pretty much want to scratch my face and ears off, along with parts of my chest and legs.  He wants to see me in 3-4 weeks and run some more tests.  I'm not sure I want to.  We shall see :)  He said the shot would take the itch away in 60 minutes.  It has been 5 hours and I am still ITCHY!  He said I could double up on the Zyrtec.  I am going to do that right now :)

STINK! How is all of this happening to you at the same time? I'm impressed you have the drive to get out and still run a few! Heal well!!

There is nothing in the world I hate more than itchy hives. I get them from eating too much grapefruit. I hope the prednisone starts working. But I think 6-8 hours is more realistic than 30 minutes. Hang tough. I'm hoping you're less itchy now.

Thanks girlies :) I am feeling SO much better today!

The shot was supposed to be fast acting, but it appears that my immune system is sort of freaking out right now. I even have rashes where my rings sit. I am all for a BORING next few months!
