Post-illness recovery
So even though I had 5 days of antibiotic (eritromicin) during our trip to the Huasteca, the strep throat wasn’t healing at all. The doctor prescribed 4 more days of antibiotic, but this time it was intramuscular penicillin. A little bit painful but effective enough to get me back on track with my training (taper) for the upcoming Leadville Trail 100 race on August 22.
Yesterday as well as today I did a couple of hilly runs (14 & 21 km respectively) to test how much my fitness was affected by illness. Fortunately, it seems like I’m still strong and thin enough for running a great race in a couple of weeks. Now I must remain careful and get lots of rest before that happens
