\nThis morning, by the time I got out to run, it was already getting hot. So instead of driving to the Greenway, I opted to go up my street again, this time using a slightly different route with a halfway point pretty much smack dab in front of Jetsyknits’<\/a> house. Yes, I am that fortunate that I have such a cool person living only a mile away.<\/p>\n

On the way back, I was really feeling it. I wrote last year about how the final leg of Week One of Couch to 5K has me running right up the worst part of Mt. Doom. By the time I got to the top, I was out of breath. I’d go so far as to call it “wheezing.”<\/p>\n

When I got home, I did a few other exercises and then knocked off. My husband was extremely encouraging, praising me for running even though it was warmer than I would have liked and I really wasn’t feeling like it. I was very contrary with him, mainly because while I was glad I’d done it in the sense that I made it home and didn’t die and then had some exercise under my belt, I really had a miserable time on the last leg. If I’d had it to do over again, I wouldn’t have done it. Bless his heart, he really was just trying to be helpful and motivational.<\/p>\n

While out grocery shopping later, I developed a killer headache, which I attributed to being stressed out and having gotten ill with my husband without a good reason. When I got home, I apologized, and took a couple of aspirin and drank a lot of water. Then I went back out to run more errands – my daughter’s Barbie movies aren’t going to rent themselves, you know. My headache got worse and worse. By the time I got home, I started to think that something was actually wrong beyond just, “I’m irritated with the world.” Sure enough, I’m running a fever.<\/p>\n

And you know what? That makes me feel GREAT! The run wasn’t hard because I’ve lost ground, it was hard because I was getting sick. I wasn’t irritable for no reason, I was irritable because I was getting sick. I’m not headachey and tired because of stress and anger, it’s because I’m sick. Yay! It’s not all in my head!<\/p>\n

Pardon, I’m going to lie down and rest some. Another reason to be glad to be sick. The eternal optimist strikes again!
