General downturn

As is dreadfully obvious from the tracker to the right (-->) I haven't been running lately. Actually for two whole weeks my running shoes have been resting further and further down in the pile of shoes by the door. I went for a little one today, after having been ill and staying home from work thursday afternoon and friday, sort of in defiance and to prove to myself that the general feeling of being slightly ill, and rather tired had been cured by resting for a couple of days. Not the case. I felt dizzy and ill after 2.4 km and had to rest for 15 minutes to get better again. This is rubbish, and I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.. Go figure.

I have been pushing myself pretty hard lately, I know, but I am adamant that my illness is not only due to this, I really feel it's a sickness. It's frustrating to feel sick and I really hope it goes away soon. I'm going to work tomorrow because I don't feel I can stay home with these mild symptoms any more. Silly? Proud? I just have so much to do at work and I want to finish the work I've commenced properly. I'm taking it slow though.

Two more weeks, that's ten days and counting.

I know how you feel. I keep failing to go biking and swimming and all the time I feel like shit. I'm going for a scan on friday to find out why I have this constant pain in my left arm pit (3 blood tests say it isn't lymphatic cancer).

I kinda figued you were too busy with your project to run, so I'm bummed that its nothing so good. If your feeling low, then it could be something is fucked up, but it could just be psychosomatic and due to the end of summer, living in London or what ever.

Take care, and keep your pecker up (as Snufkin said to Moomintroll)

Thanks Moif.

I wish I were busy with my project.. I've actually been feeling ill for quite some time now and need to go see a doctor, I think. Or an alternative person... I'm pretty sure it's in part psychosomatic- or stress - coupled with a couple of bugs going around my office.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling good, that has been going on for way too long.. I hope you get well...

Take care, and loads of thoughts your ways, as always.

Honey, water and lemon works for my family and I. We take those rated UMF15. You might want to try that, if you haven't already.

Get better soon. It's too good a time to be unwell :)

Actually, anytime's too good a time to be unwell ;)
