4 easy miles.
I took my son to his pediatrician and also made a Dr. apointment for me. We have ongoing problems with our sinuses, and we both get sick at the same time. The doctor thinks we have allergies! (That are causing sinus infections) I spent all day considering this as a possibility and I think he's right. I went for 6 months all through the winter without problems (thought I was cured), then in March it all started up again.
I thought about the times when I was sick and not sick. It's always worse on Saturday's after my long runs (up the canyon around the weeds) and the only time I can remember not feeling like I was struggling with a stuffy/runny nose off and on was when I was on vacation and during the times when we had a lot of rain. I think I felt so bad this week because Saturday I did my run up South Fork, spent all afternoon on the grass at the park and the evening out at a golf course. Couldn't breath when I went to bed. Monday I spent hours at Temple Square around the grass and flowers and the evening at a reception at a green house. That night I could hardly breath out of my nose again and the next morning I felt sick. We also open all our windows at night to let the canyon wind cool the house off, which the doctor said is a bad thing to do with allergies.
Now I'm on a nasal spray. I really hope I can figure out a way to control this because I'm so sick of feeling sick, especially in the summer. No more opening windows, cut back on running up the canyon, etc. This really sucks because I love the outdoors. |
