I finished my antibiotics on Monday and was feeling much better. At the time, I thought I would try running on the treadmill on Thursday or Friday. By Thursday, I was feeling worse again. Late Friday afternoon, I could barely talk without starting a coughing fit again. It was so frustrating!
I headed back to the doctor this morning. In all that time there has been no change in my lungs. No improvement and, fortunately, no worse. Now I have round 2 of antibiotics and a course fo steriods to try to get my lungs healthy. Another 7 days and hopefully I will be feeling better...please!
For 6 weeks after my last marathon, I didn't want to run. Running was a job and took too much effort. Even when I got back to it regularly, it took so much effort to make that first step. Then I got sick. Now I cannot run. Now I desparately want to run. Guess this is one way to get my groove back.

I really hope the medicine kicks in soon for you. I am just about ready to go in for some myself. I think the sinus infection and on/off eye thing is not going away on it's own. I just run through the whole dang thing or I would be worse to be around. But it isn't in my lungs- sorry yours is. GET BETTER! Prayers for you. -R
Oh no! I'm so sorry. I hope this round of antibiotics kicks in and you're able to run soon.
