Not only have I recently watched the Michael Moore movie Sicko (and given just 2 stars on Netflix - sorry, but I liked his other movies better), but I’ve also recently played the part! I picked up something from the kids (or given the number of blog postings I’ve read at all your sites, maybe I got it from YOU, VIRTUALLY), a nasty stomach flu, and it’s been keeping me down this week.
I’m happy to say that I think it’s passed, and I can resume working out tonight. Funny thing - with all the challenges, and my obsessiveness over logging and posting my training data, I felt stressed about not running etc. I had to take a step back and come to terms with being human, admitting that I need to address my life and health in addition to my training. It’s not like I’m professional, and losing something by taking a break for a week, but it sure was hard to stop visiting the gym or lace up my shoes. With things now in perspective, I’ve regained my health, and am ready to rejoin the pack!
Thanks to the Diabetic OC for keeping me entertained the past few days,
Jamie, The Diabetic Runner

Oh man, I just lived that. On the bright side, I lost 7 pounds in 2 days - what a quick weight loss program. Unfortunately as each subsequent day passed I watched it all come back since it was just water loss from dehydration.
