weekend run

I am VERY sick.  I tried Saturday to "sweat" it out with a 2 mile walk with mom, but ended up feeling worse.  Last night I fell prey to the local pharmacist, who doped me up with her prescription meds, but failed to warn me of the side-effects, despite being knowledgeable of them.  So when I spoke to mother this morning and told her that I did not sleep for one second all night, she informed me that she had the same problem when she took those pills, I was rather upset!  In any event, she watched the kids for a couple hours so I slept this morning.  When I woke up, I felt decent so I decided to try a 2 mile run.  This was probably a big mistake, given my condition, but I wanted to try.  I did not want Chippens to be disappointed in me, and it is such a beautiful day.  So, I plodded along and ran the usual course the hotel and back.  I made the mistake of looking at my watch when I was leaving, and I am embarrassed to say the run took me 23 minutes.  However, given my condition, I think I should still be applauded for effort.

No scale here so I don't know the weight loss situation, but I have stuck with the plan, which is sort of a miracle since every time I'm around mom I seem to gain weight!
