Last week I was sidelined with a three-day fever, headache and a wet, hacking cough that lasted through the weekend.

On my return to running yesterday I doubled-over with back spasms and lack of breath.  I thought Kevin might have to carry me the last two miles of our run.

I have a feeling that the back spasms are related to all the coughing that I did last week, but what the hell do I know, I’m just a software developer with access to google. 

I think it’s time I stopped self-diagnosing and actually scheduled an appointment with the doctor to find out what’s wrong with me.
