down with the sickness

What is this?! It seems as if everyone in my Venn Diagram-esque vicinity has been struck with some modern-day remnant of the Black Plague. Yeck! I have been sick in some way, shape, or form since...hmm...mid-January. The eldest, sick since Christmas, has an appointment today. TG the hubby is finally on the mend and the wee one has yet to succumb.

Went to the Dr. and got a Z-Pack yesterday, so I hope I should be returning to life post-haste. Gotta get the eldest on that train to good health as well...i.e. drugs.

The worst part about being sick? Being too tired to functionally carpe some diem! Even reading seems arduous at this point. Also, definitely too sick to cook, clean, run, bike, walk, crawl, drag myself anywhere. Which is too bad, since I just ordered the Saucony Kinvara. Pretty stoked to test those puppies out; however, the ever-present threat of death lurking in my respiratory system prevents even lacing them up to walk about the house.

In addition to the Kinvaras, I also ordered a new pair of the Hurricane 12's (my go-to shoes forevah-evah). I was pleased to see that Saucony fixed the stiff-ankle top construction from the 11's and added some padding, because I had wicked blisters while training for that half from you know where...

So, my plan is to switch between the Kinvaras and Hurricanes on pavement, and stick with the Vibrams for treadmill, trail runs and cross training! ...If I can first get over this cold.

Happy Healing!
