Hellish – that’s my description of the past several days. It started on Saturday when the combination of my Friday bike commute and Saturday’s two hour run kicked the ever-lovin’ crap outta me. I don’t think I’ve ever felt worse during or after a run. It was so bad, I’m beginning to think I may have been fighting off a bug – especially considering that on Sunday, Christopher became ill. First we thought he was cutting a molar and then I thought it might have been another ear infection (he’s had several). I took him to the Doctor last night – he ruled out both of those possibilities and seems to think it is a viral infection – possibly Roseola which is a virus that hits about 90% of toddlers and runs its course in 4 to 7 days.

I’ve gotten very little sleep since Saturday but last night the boy finally slept well which means we slept well too. It’s amazing what a good sleep will do. I won’t say I feel like a million bucks but I am much better and looking forward to a nice easy lunch run to get back in the swing of things.
