If it hurts, GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!
These are the kinds of lessons in life most of us choose to learn the hard way. "Push through the pain." That’s what we tell ourselves. Well recently I tried pushing through some pain, and it pushed back harder!
So it seems for the last month and half I havn’t been myself. The workouts are down, not that the motivation isn’t there, but something was just wrong with me. The first sign I recieved came by the way of urination. I had been noticing a slight pain while peeing, but didn’t give it much thought. Then the slight pain became worse. The thought crossed my mind of STD, but I have been with the same girl for 6 months and that didn’t add up. So I went on with the pain, until I noticed blood in my pee. I guess you could say that scared me to the doctor! I found out I have an E. Coli infection of all things, who would of thunk it? One dose of the antibiotic and the pain starts to subside. Big relief cuz I was beginning to dread peeing. The point is don’t wait until the pain is too extreme to handle before you go for help!
So now im down about 10 pounds of my precious muscle, a week behind on my half-marathon training, and without my usual confidence because of it. Life never sucks for me (I don’t let it), but this ain’t my dream!
No fear, I will be back stronger than ever!
