good to be back on track...

after running every day in december i ended up with a sore throat on 1st, 2nd and 3rd! damn i should have stayed on the marcothon another month! however by tuesday i felt fine and did 5 miles with donna. by tuesday night i was covered in a rash all over!! went to gp on wed after a night of scratching, tossing and turning.  positive it was either a fungal infection or allergic reaction to 3 possible things [new body cream, new soap powder or new shower cream], doc thought the preceding sore throat and run the day before made it viral so sent me off instructed not to run till gone!! 2 to 6 days if viral and if not gone after that it is reaction so come back for referral! great! anyway the antihistamines made me sleepy all day for next few days i didn't bother about running. but with no change to the rash i stopped using them and felt fine!  wanted to run sat sunday but just in case i held off for the 6 days.  No change!  so bugger all that i went for a run - just easy 3!  feel fab anyway so back on track now i dug out my half mara training plan and made a few modifications and sent it to mara girls!  so stuff the rash i am back on track...

Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa (ninjiom-hk.cwahi.net) may be another solution to sore throat. i know a lot of people use it, its also non alcoholic, though it's effectiveness is not as good as alcohol based cough medicine, but it's still good to use on not so serious sore throat. Hope you are getting well soon!!!
