Still sick

Ok, so the doctor said I literally ran my self into the ground. It is Saturday and I'm feeling alot better but I still get worn out when I do too much. Haven't exercised since Tuesday and I'm sure I've lost 20 pounds of muscle (if I had that much). I won't be running until Tuesday so not only do I feel like I'm letting my bosses down by missing work, I'm letting my friends down by not running with them tomorrow. I know, life isn't fair. And I should be grateful it wasn't more serious and I generally have my health and I will run again. I really don't know what I'd do if I couldn't run anymore. I hope I don't have to find out. Edith and I were discussing the fact that as I get older, the less people there are in my age group so in 20 years, I'll probably be in the top of my division. Now that's something to shoot for. A long term goal, if you will.

On another note, I'm reading this book "The Non-Runner's Guide to Marathon Training for Women". This woman, who seems to have never exercised before in her life, signed up for a Marathon to raise money for a cause close to her heart. She kept a journal and there are snippets of it in the book. She's very funny and very anti-running. I'm quite enjoying it and wish my journal entries were as amusing as hers. Oh well, my talents lie elsewhere.
