I'm really frustrated at this point. I have pneumonia right now. Probably as a result of working in the yard one weekend, then cleaning out the back room of the house the next weekend. I did run some before being diagnosed with pneumonia this week. I told the doctor Tuesday, that I ran 7 miles on Saturday. His comment was that if I wasn't in such great shape and didn't have such great lung capacity (that I'm not sure about), I would be "down for the count." Which I took to mean, in bed or at least not moving around doing anything productive.
But after doing some running before I was diagnosed with pneumonia, I'm afraid to run because I'm afraid that the stress of running may hinder my recovery. However, I'm increasingly convinced that the thought of not running is also impeding my recovery. I'll have to think about it more tomorrow.
