getting sick?

Not quite sure what the problem was today, but my legs just wouldn't go.

I waited til Spen got home so we could run an errand for my interview tomorrow, swap kid-duty, and have him drop me off near Folkestone so I could have different scenery on my walk. That part went so smoothly, the girls were cheerful in the car, Spen was cheerful after work and my errand took less than 5 minutes. Should have been a tip off that the walk would be a mess!

I was dropped off on the far edge of Sandgate and wandered to the sea wall. Oh the wind!!! I braved it for about two miles but took the easy way out and turned for the shelter of town. I felt like I was going at my best speed but my watch kept telling me I was nearly .5 mph slower than normal. Then came the waves of nausea. . . and the need for a bathroom break! No amount of singing Sweet Caroline to myself could keep me distracted from trying to find the nearest public toilets. No wonder I was going so slowly. The pace picked up after, possibly my attempt to recoup the time loss as the watch kept running, that but the nausea kept me from doing my usual. I thought I managed to keep from catching the girls' bug but it seems to be coming on. Ugg. On the positive, I did the walk anyway. (I didn't have much choice tho, it was the only way to get home!)
