damn viruses!
i'm sick again. not exactly sure what i have but i've had some weird symptoms (go figure). i had a stiff neck and a headache when i go into work on tuesday. now i'm all stuffed up and my lungs feel "itchy". i hope i get rid of this pretty quickly because i've had zero energy this past week since i've done zero physical activity. so, overall, i feel like crap.
i've got a cardiology appointment on tuesday afternoon. hopefully, he'll do the necessary tests to make sure my heart is healthy. it's always scary to hear of young, supposedly healthy professional athletes dropping dead. and yet another one this past weekend. a denver broncos running back. yikes! it's funny that the docs never take me seriously. oh, you're young and in good shape. how could you possibly have a heart problem? look at jiri fischer. greg johnson had to retire this past summer because they found a hereditary heart problem. good thing they finally found it before he keeled over and died. all i ask is they do a stress echo to see what my heart is doing during exercise.
enough on that crap. i've been holding off for the longest time from looking at the mtbr 29er forum. i took a peek tonight after about 3 months. yikes! now i know why i stayed away! everytime i see what everyone else is riding, i want something new too! whether it's the latest custom frame or the latest bling parts. but no major purchases this season! i'm going with what i have and will most likely get a custom, dream bike next year after all our debt is paid off and we're in our new house. so, i'll have a full year to decide who i want to build it and what parts i'm gonna put on it, and lastly, whether or not it'll have gears.
oh yeah, i'm gonna have to make a change to my racing schedule. no 12 hours of addison for me. instead i'll be spending the weekend in chicago celebrating my birthday and checking out the arcade fire at the historic chicago theatre on 5/19. no big deal, i'll find something else to race. my april race schedule is still up in the air. it all depends on whether or not i run the half. if i do, i won't do yankee, but if i don't i'll race both pontiac and yankee.
my shin still causes me random pain so it'll be at least 2 more weeks before i try a brisk 30-45 minute walk to see how it feels. it sucks because i'm heading down to sunny south florida next weekend for a week for work. i was hoping to go running outside in shorts and a tee but i don't think that's gonna happen. too soon. but if i'm fully recovered from my cold, i'll definitely be partying it up in south beach on of the nights! yeah, it's 5 days of training but i heard it's like a mini-vacation so i'm gonna have FUN!
