In sickness and in heath

To cut a long story short; I have bacterial pneumonia.

My last 'anything' was TVXC league on the 12th Jan, where I didn't place anywhere near where I thought I would. It was 'too hard'. I'm nowhere near the fastest guy there at all though I know my competitors, those that I always end up racing against. I didn't race them that day, they were in the distance.

Some Drs visits, some tests and x-rays, a visit to out-of-hours Dr and finally a diagnosis and correct medication. 

Almost a week later and the medication course is completed. I feel like I have more energy when I wake, until I get out of bed. I still get breathless easily.

The font of all knowledge, Wikipedia, suggests 4-6 weeks until all symptoms have gone. The Dr believes 4 weeks until I can do 'something'. I have returned my race pack for Wokingham and hopefully they can use the space for someone on their waiting list.

I'll review my attendance at PowermanUK in time.
