I don't get sick too often. But I feel like when I do I always get the worst of the worst. In recent years the only colds I've had were bronchitis a couple times, pneumonia once, and whatever this mess is that's taken me out of the game for the past 5 days. Made it all winter without getting sick - until now.
It started Saturday morning with a slightly sore throat, and it just happened to be my long run day so I went out and did it. In hindsight probably not the best thing I could have done, but I didn't know this would be the result. Sunday I woke up with no voice. Throat felt like it was full of broken glass. I felt fine otherwise, but there was no way I could go to work and talk to people for 10 hours when I could barely even make a sound. It stayed about the same for a couple days, then yesterday a fever got thrown into the mix and it's made me want to do nothing but lie down all day. Sleep has been hard to come by, even with large amounts of Nyquil I'm just so damn uncomfortable. I did go to the doctor on Monday, he wasn't really sure what I have but gave me antibiotics because he was concerned it would turn into mono - not really sure why? Whatever it is it sucks.
At least my cat has kept me company through this ordeal.

Today I am finally starting to see a little improvement. I have 2 short shifts at work to make up for all the time I missed, but exercise wise I am taking the whole week off and maybe running a little on Saturday.
