Thursday came and we were out of school due to the weather, so I went for a tempo run in historic downtown Mt. Airy. Around 3 miles into the run I started to have stomach problems again, so cut it short at 4 miles, came home and went to the doctor.
At the doctors office they checked me for an ulcer causing bacteria called H. Pylori. I was negative for H. Pylori, so I was given a 2 week regime of a prescription H2 blocker. After being on the meds 2 days now, I am starting to feel a lot better. I wonder if this could have been caused by a stomach bug, as there is one going around school.
Now Saturday, I woke up with a hefty Honey Do list. My wife Meghan is about 30 weeks pregnant with twins. She is definitely "nesting" at the moment, so I don't mind trying to do all I can. Even though I had a lot going on, I met a friend at Westwood Park for another beautiful trail run. I got in 45 minutes at a moderate pace, and did some of the bigger hills coming up from the "bottom."
To wrap this post up, I am happy to say I am currently feeling better and this week is ending on a high note. My Honey Do list is almost completed, and Barrett is feeling much better. Happy Running everyone!
