I made the unwise decision to run the New Year’s Eve 5k even though I was sick because I really wanted the medal. I did ok… didn’t run without walking, didn’t run very fast when I was running, and generally felt exhausted the entire way. When I finished, it took every ounce of energy just to get home and lie on the couch. My finishing time wasn’t bad, all things considered, but it wasn’t really worth it. I got fooled into believing I wasn’t really that sick because I’m not congested, but you know, tonsillitis is still tonsillitis and even without a fever, it takes a lot out of a person. But what’s done is done and, well, I guess this means I just have to sign up for another race!
