Bounce back

April 3, 2013 by Carly Johann in Uncategorized with 0 responses

I had actually planned on never getting sick again, once I realized the positive effects that Pur Pak has been having on my health. But, as bullet-proof as I have been feeling, I suppose it had to happen eventually. Last week, I ended up with shingles. Shingles, caused by the chicken pox virus, effects people differently, but it is always very unpleasant. Though my rash and the burning pain have subsided, I’m still left feeling a little run down. No athlete with lofty goals has an easy time handling this sort of set-back.

Watching the days in my training schedule roll by without being able to mark them as complete has been tough, as has watching races creep closer. But, it’s important to not get too discouraged. On the upside, I know I’ll get better soon and be able to hit the pool, roads and track, and I always need to remember to be grateful for that. In the interim, the tough job is to be patient and let the body heal. Pur Pak is helping with that, as I’ve been recovering more quickly than expected. I know that because I’ve been giving my body what it needs on a daily basis to be healthy, it will bounce back quickly. Until then, it’s the waiting game. Luckily, Game of Thrones just came back on Sunday, so there has been plenty to keep me entertained!
