Crossing off the Half on 9/27
Well, no matter if I feel up to it or not, the decision has been made.
I'm not participating in the YOU GO GIRL! Half Marathon the end of the month. Pretty bummed. Was looking forward to the cute pink head band....(j/k)
I'm on my 3rd antibiotic. One risk factors of being on THIS ONE, is tendon rupture. WTH!
Doc and pharmacist said it's not real common, but first warning. If you pull or tear a tendon, Achilles for instance (and most common one to rupture with this drug), it will more than likely RUPTURE while taking this medication.
For a fleeting moment, I imagined the Greek god Mercury, with Winged Slippers...zooming down the course! BUT THAT WAS JUST MY FEVER ...
Then I had a visual of running the streets of Old Town Tacoma, with thousands of other women, and all of the sudden both of my Achillis spontaneously combusting.
Here's the kicker.....
One of the uses of this particular antibiotic, is for Anthrax. SERIOUSLY?! IF YOU ARE LAYING ON THE GROUND, A PUDDLE OF JIGGLING FLESH AND BONE, UNSUPPORTED BY TENDONS, UNABLE TO STAND ERECT AND RUN.... DO YOU REALLY CARE IF YOU HAVE ANTHRAX???
Well, there's my update on the upcoming Half. I'm sure it will be great. I have course memorized, and was going to set a PR. But I will run it in my my mind. And kick ass
Back to training and cross training after next Wed.

Every morning in Africa
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Having been sick myself for the past few months, I appreciate the frustration and disappointment you must be feeling.
Rest up & feel better soon!! There will be other races...and they may have cute pink headbands as well!!
Look on the bright side....at least you don't have anthrax!
