Chasing away Chubby

Today was better.  I didn’t find a midol but my Sis2 had a Cymbalta.  I used to take those so I knew it was okay to take so I went and got it.  It is a pill for depression/anxiety.  It also helps with body pain.  They prescribed it to me before because of my fibromyalgia.  It didn’t really help with that and I hate how anti-depressants turn me into a pansy so I went off of them.  Plus, I could not afford the $40 co-pay.  But this one time I took one and I think it helped.  The situation with my co-workers is resolved. My boss ruled in my favor!  Tee hee!  She also agreed that they are using her good nature to take advantage of her.  I hate that.  We have a really good boss and she is gonna have to get hard nosed or they are gonna run all over her. Some people don’t even realize it when they have it good.  

I ran day 3 of C25K today and did good.  I ran all the intervals but it was harder then Tuesday.  It was 20 degrees warmer and the humidity was extremely high.  It affected my breathing.  It was like I was trying to breathe in liquid.  Almost like I couldn’t get the air deep enough in my lungs.  Weird?

It was 104 here today!  But we had a bad ass storm and the cold front has moved in and now it is cooler.  Tomorow is suppose to be 88 degrees!  The storm was the best (or the worst) we have had in a long time…years probably.  It blew the underpining out from under the house, and blew my already struggling flowers off the porch rail.  They look awful now.  My Sis2 just bought a new outdoor table and chairs and it blew over her canopy and blew the new chairs everywhere in the mud.  She said they are a real mess!  There were lots of trees across roads andbranches down.  I never saw rain like this before.  It was horizontal, but it appeared to be coming from every different direction possible.  It was so cool to watch, and a little scary I will admit.  The lightning was really bad.  Coming straight down to the ground with deafening thunder.  It was cool!  (I know I am crazy!)

The last few days I have been incredibly thirsty.  So much that my throat and tongue feel parched.  I drank about 2 liters of water today, but still feel parched.  I also feel a little lightheaded occasionally.  At first I thought I wasn’t drinking enough, but I have a touch of a head cold…Some sinus trouble, occasional head ache, etc.  I am wondering if that is the culprit.  If it doesn’t get better I will go to the doc.  I know excessive thirst is a sign of diabetes.  It doesn’t run in my family, but better to be safe then sorry.  Wouldn’t that be a kick in the ass?  To finally begin my journey to health only to find you have a devastating disease.  Yeah, that would suck.  But I don’t have it so let’s move on.

 I am gonna run tomorrow morning.  I usually take a day off from running between running workouts, but I have been wanting to add some days back in now that my body isn’t rebelling against me.  So tomorrw if it isn’t raining is run day again.  Tomorrow I am just gonna run to see how far I can run without walking.  Kinda a preview to next week’s workout.  (By this time next week, I am suppose to be able to run 20 minutes non-stop!)  That would rock!  I will be a real runner  then!

Well off to bed! 

Peace!
