Well, I guess the title explains the last few running posts - yes, I've been diagnosed with Walking Pneumonia. Actually, my whole family has been diagnosed with it - technical term is
Mycoplasma. I took the three youngest to the doctor on Friday morning while my wife was going to her doctor. After those four were diagnosed, I took the two oldest in and they also had it. The pediatrician said that it sounded like I had it also - so I went in Saturday morning, and, sure enough, the whole family is now being treated for it.
After receiving medication and an inhaler, I can breathe much better now. My doctor suggested that I take the weekend off from running. Today was my first day back on the streets, logging 1.52 miles at a 9:54 pace. No wheezing, no shortness of breath - glad I went to the doctor. There is a little bit of post-run cough, but that is hopefully just the stress on my lungs from the pneumonia. Hoping to hit all scheduled runs this week with a long one on Saturday.
Here's my post-run pic - smiling and happy!
