My stuffed up right sinus from my cold has been aching all night. I have been up since 2:30AM. I think I have an infection so off to the Dr. this morning for some antibiotics. I hope it works, the big race is in 8 days. Months of training come down to this, I will not let an illness stop me now.
Update: I told the Doc about the race in one week and he prescribed me an antibiotic (amoxicillin), a couple of medicines to help with inflammation. He said this is the best combo to get this over ASAP. I have to take the antibiotics for 10 days which could reek havoc on my gastrointestinal bacteria populations. He told me to eat three servings of yogurt per day to repopulate them. I hope I do not have stomach problems during the race (when you run a ultramarathon or do any other endurance event you have to eat to keep a constant supply of glucose in your system and supply protein latter in the event). I may lay off the antibiotics the latter half of next Friday until after the race. I just hope I feel better soon so my body can recover and be well rested.
