Bet you thought you wouldn't see another one of these posts til next summer. Well, an unfortunate circumstance led me to the farmer's market on Friday.
I know that 1st grade germs are brutal. Turns out they're even worse than I thought! I was sick for over a week with a pretty bad cold. I was taking cold medicine and resting but wasn't feeling better. As time went on and it actually seemed to get worse, I figured it was a sinus infection and I should see a doctor. It didn't explain the persistent smoker's cough that was keeping me up all night long but I didn't think it was a big deal. That would go away.
So I went to the doctor. Sinus infection? Check. Oh, and pneumonia on one side. What?!? Obviously it isn't the worst case of it but it's there. Who'da thunk? So my doctor recommended a few days of rest, gave me some medication including an inhaler, and said NO RUNNING. I had the Big House Big Heart 10K planned tomorrow, which I obviously won't be doing. And wouldn't you know that we're having the most beautiful October weather ever? It's absolutely perfect weather for running! Very frustrating! I just hope that I'll be better by next Sunday to do the Detroit Free Press 1/2 marathon.
Okay, back to the market. Since I hadn't planned on taking the day off, I went in to work early to leave sub plans. On my way home, I stopped at the market to pick up my share from Living Stones.
