This update was supposed to be a celebration of finishing my first half marathon. Instead it's going to be an update of how to drop 10lbs in 4 days!
Time machine back to two Tuesdays ago.... Grandson #2 comes home sick from school, bad stomach bug, cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, the works. Poor little guy is miserable. Misses the rest of the week of school. Finally gets back to eating food the following Sunday.
Last Monday morning daughter and Grandma. Same thing. Grandma ends up in hospital Tuesday from dehydration. Gets some IV's and meds. Both are recovering by Wednesday.... That's where I take over.
Wednesday after work, not feeling well. Go home try to nap but nope! It's full on get sick time!! Took some Zofran to help with the nausea, worked like a champ until I passed out. Smacked my head on the wall and came down hard on the back. Thursday and Friday, It's all I can do to get to the bathroom and back and try to sleep in between. Saturday morning. Got up, tried to eat a bite. Only got half a piece of dry toast in. Tried to make it to the race. I was hoping my ego and adrenaline would kick in and I would give the race a shot. Unfortunately I didn't even start. Common sense and my wife won out.....
I've signed up for another half this coming Sunday. It's a little farther away from the house and starts at 0730 so DW isn't super happy about it. But I promised to take her shopping after the run!! It's really my only bargaining chip sometimes...
I'm going to run at least 30 min this evening. Even if I die doing it.
@DopeyBadger Billy, any suggestions on how to fill out the rest of the week? Thanks!!
