To the Faithful5 Comments

This one goes out to the faithful readers. It’s been a while since I’ve written. I was on vacation up north, visiting family and friends (of which I saw many). On my second day of vacation, I woke up with a fever but still managed to see everyone I had planned and to put 1077 miles on the rental car!

Last Monday when I got back, I went to work and then went to the doctor later that afternoon. My temperature was one degree warmer than normal, and my lungs sounded fine to the doctor, so I went back to work. Tuesday, I woke up feeling like a train-wreck. I went back to work and back to the doctor in the afternoon. My fever was 103, and I was told I had pneumonia!

A week (and 15 pounds) later, I feel back to my old self more or less. Sadly though, I missed The Livestrong Challenge. Thanks so much to so many of you who supported me (and others) in that. It did not go unnoticed, even though I was unable to ride.

This week, I’m going to try to put some weight back on and get healthy enough to get back to some T3 workouts, maybe by next week.

Thanks so much to the friends who brought (and offered to bring) me things while I was sick. I appreciate it so very much!

    I’m glad you’re getting better! Pneumonia is not fun at all! It’s a shame the first visit didn’t catch it, because I was worried about you from when you described your symptoms in Indy!

    At least you held out for the most part until you got home. It would have been a nightmare to travel!

    yeah, Meg, some of us indentified it in Kevin…. but there is that determination to carry on, which can be good and bad.
    Glad you are on the mend, Kev. Keep eating….
