Running streak: body aches

Welcome to the whiniest blog on the internet! (Or should that be Weiniest?) Yeah, I'm still sick. (Sore throat, no voice, joints feel creaky etc. -- conjunctivitis no longer a significant issue, though the routing of putting drops in eyes all around makes our house sound like a Hanibal Lecter nightmare) Training week is completely shot, transfering all the energy I can't seem to tap into to IronChad as he stores up for tomorrow's IM effort in Idaho.

Though I truly hate to do it, I switched tomorrow's "off day" to today for a number of reasons, here are some of those:

I am feeling sickly -- body aches and general crud
I didn't think I could accomplish what was on the schedule today, considering "1" above
Needed more time than usual this morning because I had to work in an appointment to have this dealt with:

Yep, that's right, I now have pink eye too. Joy, but wait, there's more...Finn had crusty eyes this morning as well and Becca's eyes itch. Family fun! I really dislike pink eye, but I think I prefer it over the body ache's, which I really need to get rid of before tomorrow's make up run.

On the positive side, Case asked to go running with me again today, so he and I had as enjoyable a 2 mile run as can be had considering all of the above...plus he serenaded me with "Go Faster Daddy, Go Faster!" and "Step on it Dad!, Step on it!" He's a funny little dude and I was very glad he was out there with me this morning. I might still be somewhere between mile one and two without the incentive to speed up. As I always say, kids are good for your health.

Painful effort, have body aches, not sure how much of that is a result of yesterday's run or if I have a virus of some sort. Pushed Case in Burley to the park, played for a couple hours and then ran home -- Case able to do the retarded slide all by himself for the first time, was pretty cool (the slide has no rails and makes 2 turns? Strange). Concerned about tomorrow though I have no intention to run more than a few miles, just seem to live in fear of sinus issues having experienced them for the first time 100+ days ago. Deal with that tomorrow.
