One sick mudder

You'd think things would have to improve after my last post, but let me list the hilarious shenanigans that have made up the month since my last post:

  • Viral infection
  • Sinus infections
  • Pneumonia (mild fortunately)
  • Kidney stones (That was a fun way to spend my son's birthday! In the ER in hideous pain)
  • Torn intercostal muscles (from coughing too much)
  • Asthma 
  • Pleurisy
After several weeks of 'making do' and coming into work in a vain attempt to be normal I finally gave up two weeks ago and took a week off sick, followed by a week of working from home....

It's been a hideously slow road, two steps forward and one step back, and today is my first full day back at work (and it's now 4:51 and I'm exhausted!!) 

Needless to say that training has completely gone out the window. I can barely breathe, my chest muscles still hurt when I cough (which is often), and I've lost 6kgs (which is not a good thing for this scrawny runt!)

Luckily I have some annual leave coming out where I can hopefully recover fully and return ready to hit the training hard for the last 4 months before the event...  But at this stage I'm very glad I didn't sign up for Sydney!!!
