That weekend i was sicker than waffles.

With less than 5 days before I board a plane to Emerald Isle, it would appear that i have some sort of stomach flu disaster going on.  It started Friday, when my breakfast sat in my stomach like a rock, causing me to pick at all my other meals, and feel very "off".  Then I woke up Saturday morning around 5:30 to head up to Lake Geneva, and it hit me - I was about to be very sick.  I spent all morning throwing up until i eventually fell asleep, and have felt like a hot mess ever sense.  This must be how poor wafflito felt, only i don't see HER feeding ME organic boiled chicken.  (Although i am getting nauseous at just the thought.)  Needless to say, I missed cheering at great lakes, I missed the chance to order a pizza with all the toppings only I like because Matt was out of town, I missed all social invites for the weekend, and I missed some of my last training runs before Dublin.  I am not a happy camper right now, and i am dreading the thought of going abroad while sick.  I was hoping it was a weekend deal, but i am still not feeling much better this morning. 

If you need me, I'll be in frowntown.  

Also congrats to all the ladies who ran Zooma this weekend - I was really bummed to have missed it (I even made a sign at work!)- I made it all the way to my car and promptly threw up next to it.  I'm so cool.

  5. Sounds like what happened to me on Marathon day. You'll get through it and feel like a million bucks. This is exactly how I was, minus actually throwing up...but I was in the bathroom a lot if you know what I mean. Give it another day and drinks lots of water and gatorade and you'll be right back at it :)

  7. Awww man, we were wondering what happened to you! We guessed Waffles was still sick. Sorry to hear that you were :( I hope you feel better fast and have a great trip to Dublin!

    Also, funny story, on Friday when we were talking about you cheering on the course, someone said they hoped you were going to bring Waffles, and someone else thought they meant the food, and got excited.

  9. That sounds awful-SO Sorry you're sick! GET BETTER ASAP!

    But honestly, is that really an excuse to not drive 2 hours at 5 AM on a saturday morning to cheer us on? Didn't think so.

  13. I'm sorry. I threw up once in the car while driving and it was super gross. I feel your pain. In brighter news, I was looking for you between miles 9-11 and it was a great distraction. I was like, "I know she has red hair and a dog"....keeping my eyes peeled! I was really focused on finding you and I blacked out that I was running a couple times. Next time....feel better!

  14. No words other than bummer :( Most repetitive advice ever but get plenty of rest, drug yourself on vitamins, stay home if possible, and don't stress out too much. Dublin WILL be happening in your near future!
