I’m Alive!!!

Well. Kind of. Let me explain.

Last week I was in Ft. Lauderdale for training for my new job. I met so many amazing individuals from all over the country. It was incredibly motivating to be learning from some of the heavy-hitters. Everyday we met in the lobby at 7am, and basically trained until dinner time. After dinner there was always a planned activity – bowling, movies, etc. Then the late night activity was going to a redneck bar in walking distance from the hotel.

I was proud that I still (somehow) squeezed training in. I would slip out a little early from the redneck bar and hit the gym. It was hard leaving the fun and tough working out past 11pm, but I’m glad I did it… and I think that it may have even impressed a couple of the higher-ups!

One thing I was SO excited to share was this video. This is how we kicked off training.

If you aren’t pumped up after listening to that cutie-pa-tootie deliver that speech, you’re crazy.

Overall, the best part about training was hands down the people. I feel like I left with potential life-long friends… I’m already planning a few roadtrips to see some of them.

So why I’m not completely alive… on the way back home on the airplane, I started feeling not 100%… not bad… but something was “off.” I knew for sure that something was up when I didn’t eat all of my sushi that night. Then I began coughing. Early Saturday I ran my 15 miler after I loaded up on ever over the counter cough suppressant known to mankind. It was after I awoke from my post-run nap that I felt like I was hit by a truck. I basically have every symptom less vomiting. I went to the Drs today and got some ‘scripts. I wish I could yell at my immune system.

Has anybody had any luck with daily vitamins that focus on a strong immune system? I’ve taken some before… but I can’t really say I noticed a difference.
