OK. Well first off, I would like to apologize for not posting anything for the last week. I meant to, but I had a freaky stomach whatsit, and was throwing up all week.
The image below has been my glorious companion for most of last week.
Now, I realise most of you probably don’t want to know what happened to me or how, but since you are reading MY blog, I am going to tell you anyways.
It all started on Tuesday the 17th. I was feeling good, and I was about to do my first training session in about 6 weeks, so no biggy. OK. So that day I had school, which went great. I came home and had dinner. After this, I went to training.
Now, this is where it starts to get a little… funky 🙂 I got to training and my coach told me I would have quite an easy session: 3 x 300m at full pace. That may seem easy, but it’s not.
I did one run and I started to lose vision, got a headache, and didn’t feel well. After that, I did my second run, having assumed that it was caused by the normal lactic acid being annoying. I fell over, crawled about 10 meters off the track, and started throwing up everywhere.
For the next five days, my companion (see picture above) was very helpful. We finally realised I wasn’t getting better, so we went to a doctor. The Doc gave me tablets, and I now feel right as rain.
And that is the reason you are reading this, instead of my usual filth. 🙂
…speaking of TMI…er, well, yes, it is YOUR blog.
Considering the July and early August you had, I’m surprised the running didn’t do you in. We DID try to find a measured track here, but — well, OKC’s schools simply aren’t as accessible as they were. Junkies, Pushers, homeless trying to get into vacant buildings, kids looking for a place to party (and that doesn’t mean what it did when I was 15. You can take THAT to the bank.)
Glad it’s over, G-Man. Give us an update on your weekly training sessions and competitions, too; guess that’d be on another page. We’re missing you on this side of the pond — I haven’t had an urgent phone call from ANY of your cousins, pleading to get together. All that was about you.
Stay well, do good work, and keep smiling.
