balancing acts

I am trying to decide if it is time for a little unfill.  It is really hard to tell since I am on so many medications right now.  High strength antibiotics for the bronchitis crap, which in turn leads to taking probiotics to regulate the bacteria in my belly.  Then there is the acid medication that I am taking to make my belly even feel like eating.  I am down to 108 but I know a lot of it comes from the crud and I am pretty sure once I am able to breath like a normal person I should be able to eat like one too?

I did nothing at all this weekend.  Saturday I slept until 9, got up, took cough medication and slept on the couch all day.  I asked Dennis to take me to the grocery store but he kept telling me that I just needed to sleep.  So, that is what I did.  Sunday was a little better.  For some godforsaken reason there are only 2 stores that carry the make-up brand I wear.  I ordered it online but got the wrong color so I had to take it back or risk being seen at work without makeup.  I got some badly needed shopping done and got out of the house.  Of course I went back into a coma state when I got back home.

So I have a decision to make.  Sunday is the OKC marathon.  I signed up on a whim after Boston and have been sick with the lung crap ever since.  My doctor said the cough from the crud I have can last up to 3 weeks!!  I have not really trained, my last "long" run was March 17 and it was a 9 mile trail run.  Should I chance it?  Should I contact the organizers and ask them if I can cut back to the 5K?  I could say that I would just walk it but that is easier said then done.  Heck, I don't know what to do.  Yeah I am probably making this harder then it should be.

Dennis is taking my little sassy lashes to the vet today to have her put back on diet medication.

She has some really bad food manners and will get into some serious fights at the food bowl.  The medication we put her on works great but OMG it is so freaking expensive.  I asked my doctor if we could just get her put on a band.  It wouldn't be such a big deal if she wasn't missing that back leg but we are really worried that the extra weight will put too much pressure on her knee and hip and she will have a long and slow recovery.  You can tell by looking she is daddy's little girl.

  1. Can you stop at the 5k mark if you feel like it or does the course diverge too much? Feel better soon!

  4. My step son and wife have had that crap for over a month. I think you need to try not to be wonder women and skip this race. There will be others. That is my 2 cents for what it is worth.
