Friday Night
First high school football game. In a football-crazed state such as Nebraska, Friday Night Lights is a big deal. I got home from the game and noticed that the back of my throat was a little scratchy. No big deal. I downed a big glass of water and took a Zyrtec and went to bed.
Saturday Morning
I woke up feeling like I had been on an all-night bender with Gary Busey and Nick Nolte*. Holy Lord. My head killed me, something large was sitting on my chest, and I sounded like I just finished off my 3rd pack of Marlboro Reds for the morning.
I had my long run plan for Saturday and I had read somewhere that, if your head isn't clogged up (mine wasn't), you could still run. So, that's what I did.....
...and it somehow made things worse.
Of course, this isn't my fault. No no no no no. This is all your fault. Each and everyone of you. What I should have done was stay in, drink fluids and get caught up on my DVRd shows. Instead, I'm taking antibiotics for every infection known to mankind. Well, not every infection. No need for any penicillin, thankyouverymuch.
I'm blaming all of you because I'm taking my mom's approach to disciplining my sister and I which was:
"I'll smack you both. That way I know I got the right one."
Thanks mom.
I hope you can all live with yourselves. I was just starting to like all of you.
P.S. - Dramatic? Possibly. That's a side effect of the horse pill/antibiotic that I have to take. That and "lady part" itching. Feel free to make your own joke on that one. I'll give ya a freebie.
*I'm assuming. Apparently, in the past few years, Busey has found Christ. Yeah, I'm sure that was a banner day for J.C., don't you suppose?

This would have been much more effective with pictures of both Busey and Nolte. Except of course for your lunch time readers!
My parents did the same thing to me and my brothers... Hope you get to feeling better darling!
Whoops, time to blame yourself or whomever?...whoever?...who the hell ever gave you that advice. It's OK to run as long as it's not in your chest! write that down.
I'll gladly accept your blame, but don't get surprised when I share the blame for some of my mistakes with you--anyways, federal investigations aren't all that bad, and they should be there within the hour.
feel better.
Hey, my approach worked!!! You were both very well behaved kids. So there!!!
I was under the impression that Busey and Nolte were the same person... no?
1. It's "if your illness is above your throat area then you can generally run OK. If it is in your chest area then you shouldn’t run." You had it backwards, homie.
2. SWINE FLU!!!!!
*sprays Lysol at the computer screen just in case."
For years I couldn't tell Busey and Nolte apart...wait, Busey found Christ?!?! Was there a reward?
I'm pretty sure JC's banner-ist days are:
resurrecting Lazerus
resurrecting himself
ascending into heaven
Busey coming home (in no particular order)
YES! XC2 is right! Completely swine flu. You need to contact your principal and close the school down ASAP.
Little germballs at school strike again.
I did the exact same thing this weekend. I got sick, went out for my long run on Saturday...could only run 8 miles, was in bed all day Sunday and went into school at lunch on Monday. Sucked. Hope you are feeling better
"I'll smack you both. That way I know I got the right one."
I am soooo using that one from now on.
I doubt running gave you a bacterial infection. What else were you doing at that football game? You know 16 year olds are off limits to you, right?
Gary Busey and Nick Nolte, God bless em (and apparently gary is in!) those two are justthisside of death I tell ya! hope you feel better.
