Days of Winter, Spring, Summer...whatever you call it

Ok, on Monday I thought I was catching a cold.  I was sniffling, coughing, blowing my nose, all the icky stuff.  However, I was also losing energy, which caused me to give up running this week.  This has made me very sad because I can tell a difference in my tolerance and patience.  I am usually a very patient and tolerant person; but since I haven't run in almost a week, my fuse is growing shorter and shorter.

I finally broke down yesterday and went to the Dr.  I found out I have a sinus infection (duh!!) and (shock!) bronchitis.  I was coughing a bit, but nothing bad.  No gross lugies that make you shudder. Nothing.  Apparently it was pretty bad b/c the Dr. wanted me to stay home and rest today.

 I just can't get over how sick I have been this year! I am hoping as I run more and become healthier, I will get sick less.

I do have some positive news from the Dr. though.  Since my last visit to him, my BMI has dropped two points.  (Yay me!)  I am very happy with my progress, illness aside.  I am hoping to get back at it tomorrow, depending on how I feel.  It may be Saturday before I am back on my feet.

Still have a short term goal of: running a consecutive mile!!
