I found this picture on a google search and it pretty much sums up my week.  I started getting what I thought was a cold – a very severe sore throat.  However after a visit to my local med express I learned that I had strep throat and need a dose of antibiotics.  I felt like a was trying to swallow razor blades 😦 and no, I have not actually tried to swallow razor blades.  Due to my strep throat, I had to miss the EQT 10 Miler, a race I was looking forward too.  I was not healthy enough to run it.  I made a good decision to not run it but I was still a little disappointed.

I started Wednesday evening with the sore throat and  officially got a diagnosis on Friday.  Today is Monday and I am starting to feel better 🙂  However my recovery is taking longer than I expected.  I still have a sore throat and sound funny.  I have missed my workouts for about 5 day now 😦  I know I need to trust the process and allow my body to heal.  But it is hard not to want to push yourself.  I have no wonderful words of wisdom this week just a little bit of my story over the past week.  🙂

Have a great week as I continue to recover!
