Sick, Cold

2011-02-08 – 2011-02-16

Grade: 3

Sore ears and throat as if glans swolen and was in chest at start. Came on all of a sudden and possibly linked to kimmy having severe tonsilitus but time will tell, hopefully not though.

Missed this weekends training because hr didn't drop friday morning but good job as after a far too stressful and energetic day with class on friday i got the train home. As i went for it i was getting pressure behind my ear and this exagerated like a baloon untill by the time i was at linlithgow i was getting sharp, continuous pain. On getting home i took pain killers and phoned NHS 24, they gave me appointment at hospital and i got a course of antibiotics (3 days amoxycilin) to be taken with pain killers where needed.

Finished full course antibiotics and started back slowly, didn't run at all when properly ill. Ran scottish xc champs a few days after finished and was feeling great, amazing run i think because of the rest.
