Coming Around

Whew! These last couple months have earned me a mushy butt!!! --Among other things I won't horrify you with. Dang. Well, the important thing is that IT'S NOT PERMANENT! Between discussions with Sally and personal experiences, I have learned that no physical condition is ever permanent. I will not always be weak and tired :o)

After re-culturing and identifying the culprit in making me sick, my doctor gave me a new antibiotic, and it seems to be working! Before my treatment, I could hardly walk from one side of the store to the other, without getting a little winded. But yesterday, I was able to walk 1/2 a mile with Pudge, and then jog all the way back with no rests in between! Man it felt good :o) I took this morning off of exercise, so that I don't push it. But yesterday was quite encouraging.

I don't know when I'll start racing again. I have a 13 mile walk in Clovis/Fresno in November, so I will have to start conditioning for that. Other than that... I don't want to commit myself to any triathlons or anything. With work getting more and more demanding, I don't want the added pressure that I MUST workout. I prefer to take it slow and low for a while. Either way, I'll be happy to spend the time getting healthier and walking with my "son."
