"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I
don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my
life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts
and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing loud in the car
with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night
laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want
to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe
tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and
I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad He gave life to
someone who loves the gift." --Shauna Neiquist

Countdown to 2011...Day Twenty

Yeah. So three days after my last post I got sick again. Laryngitis this time. Another round of the evil antibiotics and another week of exercise lost. I'm trying not to feel down and overwhelmed by it all, but I'm frustrated, for sure. I was doing so well the first week of December, then I've been sick the entire time since then. What's with that?!

I feel like I've been either sick, getting well, or coming down with something for the last 10 weeks! Ever since that case of strep in the beginning of October, really. *sigh* This isn't like me...I've worked so hard to build a strong immune system and now I seem to have crashed.

I'm frustrated. Definitely frustrated. Because my position can't be filled by a temp (yay for small business!) I didn't take any time off. I think that has definitely made my recovery longer and slower. Going back to exercise too soon has made me relapse and/or catch something else right away the couple of times I've been sick, so I'm taking two more days before starting back.

I've not decided yet exactly how I'm going to finish c25k in order to start the 8k program. This week is TOM, so it's not an awesome time to be starting back on exercise and running, but I'm determined. I'm just so tired of being tired! And sick of being sick, too! BAH!!

Here's hoping the rest of 2010 doesn't suck quite so hard.
