Friday: Sickness, Swim and Run

So this morning, sickness was indeed upon us and it was necessary to load the both of us in the car and hot-step it over to the doctor's office where we sat amongst the sick and contagious until we were seen by Dr. Bastian (The great!!).  It seems that Young Sloan has a run of the mill cold/cough virus that probably did not even necessitate a doctor's visit, but abuser of the American healthcare system that I am, I toted us in.

At home, Sloan the Younger napped and alternated between irritable and manic as he moved in and out of fever.  We were ultimately stranded at home all day and I read the vogue spring issue cover to cover while we sat on the couch watching inane cartoon from videos on Apple TV.  I read the Lady Gaga article (she speaks perfect French), I read the I was raised in a cult article (it was the same Family of God cult that turned out the Phoenix family), I read the Starved for Love article ( I swear there is an eating disorder article in every other if not every issue of Vogue.), I read the South Korea: Epicenter of the Shopping Universe article.  I have one article left to read about iphone health apps. This particular issue is 574 pages long, so the fact that I mowed through all of it is indicative of today's couch time.

Needless to say, sick children are unwelcome in the gym nursery, so we stayed home all day but for our outing to the doctor.  It was quite the long day.

In the evening, when help arrived home, I betook myself to the gym and ran three miles on the treadmill before getting in a mile swim: 400 swim, 400 IM, 800 pull.  Again, it feels so great to get in a swim after a run.  Post workout, I maximized my time away from the house by heading to Sweet CeCe's for some frozen yogurt.  While Sweet Cece's probably has better frozen yogurt than Yogurt World, I still like Yogurt World better.

Not running with my running group tomorrow.  Hanging at home with Mr. Sick.
