Still Alive


but not kickin'.

Thanks to all of you who have sent well-wishes my way...they may be working but keep them coming. I feel a bit better but I still have a pounding headache that will not go away. I am sure it is only partially due to illness though....stress among other things always wears me down.
I need to run. I need to run for 100 miles....it very well may kill me if I did that but it would be a cool way to go. But really, I have not been able to clear my mind and hit the pavement since Tuesday. I can feel things piling on, the way they do when I don't get to run them off. It's like missing therapy and that is no bueno! I need to charge myself a no-show fee and enforce a strict no cancellation policy. It would be for my own good...
Today I am Grateful for:
people who notice and make a point give a smile.
Easy return policies.

  3. Hope you feel better soon. Being out for the count sucks. And I know what you mean by not getting to run the stress off. I only got out for 30 minutes today, but felt a million times better afterward. Hope you get to get out there soon!

  7. Sometimes the only thing that gets me feeling better is a hard core sweat session...it hurts for awhile but then I swear I start feeling better. I really hope you can kick this soon!

  8. Headaches are terrible and make it also difficult to run (well that's how it works when I'm having one) so I hope you feel better soon and can go running again!
