Ugh. That was not fun.

Normally I would be at marathon training right now. But not today...

Around 5pm yesterday I started to feel like my lunch wasn't going to stay down. I thought the feeling would pass, but it didn't. One of my co-workers said he was feeling a little feverish and nauseous also. We didn't eat lunch together, so I doubt it was anything we ate. Since I wasn't really busy at work, I decided to head home right away. I grabbed a plastic bag just in case.

Getting on the subway wasn't fun, but I thought a taxi would be worse. All that starting and stopping, just the thought of it makes my stomach turn. As soon as I got home things got worse. My stomach really was not happy. I'll spare you the details.

I woke up this morning feeling a lot better. My fever is gone, and that makes me more comfortable for sure. I'm exhausted, but I feel semi-human again. I'm pretty happy to be out of the bed at least. I was getting tired of being there.

Rick and I were supposed to go to New Jersey this afternoon to see our friend's new baby after marathon training. I don't think that is going to happen now. I think I should stay away from them. If I got their newborn sick, I don't think they would be too happy with me.

I'm pretty disappointed that I couldn't make it to marathon training today. This would have been the first group training session that I could attend in 2 weeks. Christmas and New Year's Eve really messed up the schedule. Hopefully I can do the long run tomorrow by myself.

Ughhhhh, I hate being sick like that. I'm glad you're feeling better though! Maybe it's too late now, but have you gotten your flu shot?
