I have yet another mystery fever. This is becoming a regular occurence. It happened a couple of weeks ago and I wrote about it here and also here. I did call my doctor and I can get a complete physical in august but no sooner thanks to insurance. I have decided that if I have fever on monday, I WILL go to the doctor and demand tests. This is happening almost every two weeks and is totally inhibiting my training. I am tired of it. I am NOT a sickly person and I am NOT one to lay around. I am getting plenty of sleep, good food, and water so it isn't any of these things causing me to be sick. I would think if it was serious, I would be having a continuous fever but I am not. This time it has stayed around 100 so just enough to drive me nuts and make me not want to train. This time it started on thursday. I had gotten dressed and was heading out to do my 800 meter repeats when I got a chill. I just thought it was because it was so hot outside and so cold inside. I took my temp just in case because I also had a dull headache. 100.2. Sigh. Put on my pjs and went to bed. Took friday off anyway as I had signed up to be a chaperone for andrew's class. Woke up fever free so thought I was in the clear.
After helping with andrew's trip to the fair and the playground, I started feeling weak and had the chills again and yep, it was back. I had planned on having a rest day friday anyway since we had yet another day with a heat advisory and temps over 100. I had hoped that if I rested two days in a row, that I would be okay. I had hoped that this morning I would feel good enough to maybe do a short slow run but that was not to be either. I woke up at 5:45 and quickly turned my alarm clock off and slept till 8 when andrew woke up.
The weather is suppose to be nicer tomorrow so still holding out hope that I can get 8 miles in or maybe even pull a double tomorrow. Brew to Shoe is one week away and I HAVE to do well. I so want an under an hour PR and I know I can do it if I am healthy. So, will take it easy and try and run if I am fever free today. I have been hovering around the high 99s so far so fingers crossed!
