I've been enjoying my best running/health streak in years and have silently attributed it to my silence of success. I am averaging 40+ miles a week and haven't been sick for well over a year.
All things good came to an end when I
Day 1: The wife asks me if I am training for a full since my mileage keeps increasing. She asked so I had to answer. First time I had talked about my running in months.
Day 2: A co-worker simply asked how I manage my sick time with so many kids. My response, "I don't get sick very often so sick time is used for them."
Two simple comments. I did not bring up the topics, I did not embellish the answers, I simply told the truth. The end result is BAM!!!!!!!!!!
Day 3: Shin "pops" on a run and I hobble home.
Day 4: Although my legs can't run, the nose sure can. Use half a box of tissues.
Fast forward (3 tissue boxes later)
Day 8: Try running 4 miles. Body feels great (minus cold symptoms) but shin is still not ready.
Day 9: Limping big time from the 4 miles
Day 10: Still can't run. Time to shallow my pride and call the Dr.
So tomorrow is the orthopedic surgeon. Praying that he tells me everything is fine and I just need to suck it up.
Coincidence, maybe, Cursed, probably. Time to get healthy again and quit talking.
