Rebellious streak

I've been icing the knee and applying heat to the foot but may take a short break from running because of it - even though sister tells me that I've got to 'pick up the pace or else we'll never run the half in time.' She was rather kind and kept glancing back over her shoulder as I lumbered along to make sure I hadn't collapsed. I've been hobbling around like the old woman that I am - although it hasn't deterred me from doing my post-Xmas bargain hunting (Anthro sale anyone?).
Sister also rushed to the drugstore the other day to buy some medicine to relieve my sinus headache (I seriously thought I was going to throw up at the pain). It's good to have someone around when you're sick and brave enough to weather the germ storm.
New resolution for 2013? Heal the body and keep it well.
That sounds nasty! You should get lost of rest and watch chick-flicks all day - that's me trying to look on the bright side ;-)
ReplyDeleteTake care and I hope you'll feel better soon xo
when are you going to run the half? I have to get back into my running shoes, too, but it's so miserable outside... not a good excuse, is it?
ReplyDelete;)
Oh no! I hope you feel better soon, it won't do to have you fall apart on us! It's so nice to have someone take care of you :)
ReplyDeleteAh, it sounds like you're falling apart! I'm sure with an awesome sister like that by your side, you'll heal up in no time.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon! I hate sinus headaches, they are the worst. Because I was having so many colds in a short period of time I started taking vitamins daily. Hope that will help! Also rushed to Anthro to buy a wreath on sale, I had already scoped it out before but didn't like the price. Snatched it up for 50% off in the end. Yay!
ReplyDeleteOh rooth, I'm so sorry all that hit at once. Time to forget about the pace for a while. Advil Cold and Sinus works best (for me) on sinus headaches. What happened to your foot???
ReplyDeleteYikes, that doesn´t sound fun. Do get better and relax!
ReplyDeleteOh my, hope you feel better soon. Wow, a half. Take time to rest.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon, Rooth. I guess your body is just telling you take a wee bit of a break. You'll be feeling great in no time.
ReplyDeleteabout this time last year I had bronchitis. It SUCKED.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling under the weather. Sending positive and healing vibes via the internet to you. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDelete: ( i feel your pain. i had a few injuries back to back that have left me with some issues that crop up here and there and put being sick on top of it and i instantly feel 80 years old. be careful of that knee!! i messed mine up, had to have surgery and can never run now. such a sweet sister <3
ReplyDeleteOh man, that sucks! At least you have a great nurse by your side to take care of you :-) Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteDear Ruth,
ReplyDeletePlease don't die. I would miss your blog. And you. If you have to amputate a leg, I guess that's okay since it's give you great blog stories. Otherwise, get that body back to tip top shape.
Sincerely,
Alyx
PS I'm obviously kidding about your leg.
Damn girl, you're falling apart :) Hope you're feeling better! Sinus headaches are awful awful awful.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have someone there to take care of you when you don't feel well. I once had a sinus headache that clogged my brain so much, I almost got lost in a store. Which would have been weird, since I'm not, like, 5 years old. But with the right meds, I was able to do an 11 mile strenuous hike in Yosemite.
ReplyDeleteWith the right meds, anything is possible ;)
I've been getting a lot of headaches these couple of days too! Really puts a damper on your day.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great resolution. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Sinus headaches are no fun. Here's hoping you're feeling much better now. (Perhaps your sister's tough love helped.) Happy 2013, Rooth!
