Shingled Out

After running Saturday morning I felt achy the rest of the day. Saturday evening I noticed a slight rash on my back; not in the usual spot for heat rash but I didn't think much of it. Sunday I still felt achy and the rash was still there. This morning I noticed another spot on my stomach so I called to make an appointment with my GP. Diagnosis is shingles; got a prescription of Valtrex. I of course asked the question I seem to always ask when visiting a doc "Can I still run?" Got the ok to run but thought the better of it this evening. I just didn't feel up to it. I'm headed to New Orleans tomorrow for 2 days of meetings. Hopefully will be much better and back running Thursday. Laying low til then.
