Man down!

"Sinus Infection: The Sequel" is so, so much worse than the first one. I think the problem was a) I didn't take the time to rest and recuperate from the one that popped up three weeks ago; b) I've been working a lot of long hours while continually increasing my mileage; c) because of time constraints, I've been going out with my hair still wet (never a good idea); d) leaving the gym all hot and sweaty and entering frigid freaking air; and e) my body just hates me.

I only did two miles on Monday. And that's all I've done this week. I had a fever of 103 on Wednesday and I finally dragged myself to the doctor on Thursday. He gave me the same antibiotic he prescribed when I had a kidney infection -- strong stuff. It's Saturday -- the pills have definitely helped but this thing is lingering like a creepy dude in a doorway. I need to feel better ASAP. My 10K is next Saturday.
