Sick Like the Dog

...except the dog isn't sick.

For the last 6 weeks I've been fighting some particularly feisty bronchitis.  Thought it was just my allergies acting up at first, but it hung with me all through last month's road trip and just got worse when I got back home.  I finally broke down, saw my doctor, and got a z-pack and some steroids.  Four days later I was breathing easily and no longer spitting up stuff.

This really messed with my running.  I went from doing 2+miles 4-5 times a week to nothing.  Now I'm trying to get back into it and I find I'm breathing hard from a mile-and-a-half walk.  So that's frustrating.  And so is the attendant 10-pound weight gain.

Oh well, it's a process.  And the weather's great for walking outside, which the dog likes.  I've given up on running the upcoming 10K in April, I'll walk it instead.
