Diagnosed with pneumonia - Missing two + weeks of training!
I've been sick for a week and missed my run this past weekend. I haven't run in over a week. I went to urgent care yesterday and was diagnosed with pneumonia. Dr. Gave me breathing treatments for low oxygen, steroids, and 2 antibiotics. I can't run until next Wednesday at the soonest. I know we have 2 months to go but I really wanted to PR this one now I'll just be happy to finish. I'm running for charity too so I really wanted to do well for everyone who has donated.
The funny thing is my rhr has been so high I've been burning about 4000 calories a day doing nothing! Does that count as cardio?
Anyway, I just wanted to vent my training frustrations here as I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been sidelined during training. Hopefully I can get back to it soon and catch up as my longest run was 10 miles a few weeks ago.
Also if anyone feels so inclined here is my charity fundraiser: https://fundraisers.hakuapp.com/Kitching
I hope everyone's training is going better than mine! Run for me!
