A cruel blow

I have tonsillitis.

This is not a new thing for me. I have had tonsillitis many, many times. I suppose 20 mile runs aren't that good for me. Friday night on the beers can't have helped either. The irony of the situation is that one of the reasons I took up running in the first place was to be healthier and avoid getting tonsillitis all the time!

I have been off work Monday and Tuesday, resting. I feel better today, so will probably go back to work tomorrow. I am taking antibiotics, so will need to be careful about when I start to train again. I really want to get at least a gentle run in before my next 20 miler at the weekend. Maybe do some cross training as well as my foot and knee are still sore.

I suppose it was inevitable that I would get it at least once during training. I'm lucky not to have had it yet this winter and am even luckier that it wasn't worse.

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.
