Full Speed

Ahead!! I'm feeling much better today. Actually, started to feel better Sunday after that miserable "bike ride" I attempted Saturday. Got in a solid 60 minute run Sunday by taking it easy. Monday called for a little cardio and some weights, all done without incident. Today was the bigger test, swim followed by run early morning. I woke up 30 minutes ahead of my alarm in anticipation!! Haven't done that in some time. The swim went well as I felt ok for not being in the water in a few weeks. The run, well, at about 20 minutes my chest became extremely tight, but I just kept the pace reasonable and was able to motor through the 5 miles just fine. No problems. So, everything is starting to get back to normal.

This sinus infection was worse than most. Most likely due to the winter season and so many illnesses going around. My guess is that I caught a second bout of something 7 days into the treatment of the first infection which prologned everything. I saw my doc yesterday and was assured that I was progressing according to plan again. Great news! So, although we aren't quite at full speed at this time, I'm ready to scream "Full Speed Ahead" from the top of my lungs since I've been struggling with this darn infection for so long. But this is what happens. This is life. What doesn't kill me will make me stronger. Trust me. I hope everyone that takes the time to read this blog is also "full speed ahead!!"
