nurse
Mr. Dawn is sick. And its not just sniffles and a cough every now-and-then. It’s a full blown infection…in the lungs! So scary! He has his antibiotics and has been ordered to rest, stay inside, and do nothing.
So, in the last 24 hours I’ve made him soup and tea, kept him comfortable, played games when he felt up to it, and just generally been an awesome wife. Although I’m pretty sure that I still owe him plenty for all the early morning races, buying me countless pounds of ice for my long run ice-baths, spending lots of money on running gadgets that he has no use for, listening to me talk on and on about paces, pr’s, bq-ing, and other things that no non-runner has any interest in.
This week was a decent one running-wise. Even though I had a little emotional set back early in the week, I was still able to get my runs in and even tacked on a couple extra miles on my Wednesday run thanks to school being canceled for the day. I’m still feeling under motivated in the speed department and overmotivated in the eating junk food department. Hopefully that is just a mid-winter blues effect and will soon pass on…let’s hope!
Now, we’re playing Oregon Trail on facebook and catching up on our TV shows online. Party animals!!!
It’s amazing what you can find out when you spend all day on your computer…In the news: Stefaan Engles ran 365 marathons in 365 days! Oh, and Shalane won the USATF Cross Country Championship!!
sending get better vibes to mr dawn. i have the sniffles, cough & sore throat but nothing as rough as he has!
hang in there… these winter blues are kicking my butt too!
oh, I hope he gets well soon. Oregon trail…ah, I remember that game in 4th grade. Funny that I live in Oregon now.
TELL MR. DAWN TO GET FEELING BETTER ASAP!!! Poor guy!! I am so happy you got the running motivation better!
Yuck! I hope mr D feels better soon! Why does junk food consumption require so little/no motivation anyway?
I hope hubs is feeling better soon!
I hear you on the junk food… ugh! Where is my will power?!
Hope he recovers soon, but at least you’re taking good care of him! And I loved the original Oregon Trail back in elementary school. Oh, and I was totally amazed at that article about the 365 marathons!
I hope Mr. Dawn recovers soon! That is so scary! Tell him to get well!
Glad to hear you are find your love for running again!!
Oregon Trail on facebook? I tend to avoid all games on there, but I might have to make an exception for that one…
Hope the Mr. is on the mend soon! I’ve had my share of lung infections – they’re never fun.
I bet you’re a great nurse:) Lucky man you have there!
Good job on the running this week. There will always be ups and downs. Hang in there, get it done and you will have a MAJOR up in about 10 weeks. Enjoy the rest of your weekend:)
oh i hope he gets better! sick men can be worse than sick kids….pitiful
your weekend sounds amazingly fun for being stuck inside. get better soon, mr. dawn!
Poor Mr. Dawn!
Hope he feels better soon!! And I definitely think everyone is suffering the mid winter blues…hang in there!!!
Sending warm hugs and wishes for better health from Aunt Mary and Grandma
