So how are those shoes? As you know, I ran my first race Sunday. I woke up Monday feeling kind of feverish, but determined to power through the day. Well, by evening, I was DEFINITELY feeling feverish and went to bed early. I woke up several times during the night and took my temperature each time. The record? 103.3!!! My retired-doctor dad was in town, and he had been telling me to let the fever take its course. Well, once the fever got that high, he changed his tune. I spent the next four days alternately feverish and trying to swallow past the painful node in my throat and asleep and sweating in bed. Gross. Finally went to the doctor when my dad left town: my fever was down, but it turns out that that pain in my node was really a canker sore on my tonsil! And I had a UTI! Poor me. A few days later, and I still feel off. No running this past week... Anyone who has healthy vibes, please send them my way!
