Egh, egh, egh...

I am so tired of being sick!  I can feel my lungs getting weaker by the day, and not from the mucus that has decided to move in there and turn into bronchitis.  I can feel my muscles waning and withering.  Aghh!  I hate this!  I want to be out in this beautiful weather and enjoying the sunshine.  Instead I am banished to the dark interior of my portable listening to Shakespeare.  Don't get me wrong, as a teacher I love Shakespeare, but I despise Julius Caesar.  It is boring and anti-climactic.  I wish 10th graders got to read A Midsummer Night's Dream or Hamlet.  Something way more interesting would be great!

Ohh! (that is me wincing in pain with a deep breath)  All this 'resting' had better be worth it!  I had better come back stronger and better!

Oyy! My aching...

I made an attempt yesterday on my 'rest' day to take my dog for a run.  I just played it by ear since it wasn't a scheduled run day so I adjust as necessary for each of us.  This idea was a smashing success...for my dog.  However, I wasn't even able to run a consecutive mile b/c I was being dragged, pulled, and generally manhandled  every time a car, person, or possible noise grabbed the dog's attention.  He was a great companion though b/c I never was able to slow down, unless I jerked him to a stop.  He was so tired that, for once, he slept all night with no interruptions and I had to wake him up at 7am to let him out.  With some tweaking this can be a great bonding moment for the two of us, but I hope it doesn't affect the instances when Mark tries to walk him.  Hehehe!
