Fucking toothaches man....

Alright so I started running again....kinda. So last week I ran 4 times. how about that. I was feeling good last monday so I went for a 5 mile run which was good. I was able to start out slow so I could actually finish it. Tuesday I was going to go for a repeat but I decided that I'd back off a little so I just ran 4, but it was a good run so I was happy with it. Now Wedensday the idoicy of mine came back. I started the run with intentions of going 4 or 5 if I could but I was running a bit too quick and it was really warm out. Then there was a girl ahead of me going kinda slow so naturally I sped up to pass her, but I can't pass someone then slow down so I had to keep it up. So by 1.5 miles I was cooked as lame as that is. So I turned in and finished with about 2 miles. Thursday was a bit better though. Still warm out but I started off fairly slow. I was gonna try to get 5 miles in but I was dying the last 2 miles so I turned in and made it about 4.5 I'm guessing maybe a little more. Friday I decided to take a day off I had run 4 straight days and to be honest more mileage than I expected I could do. My legs still felt good but I figured I should rest them a bit. Saturday morning I wake up to a killer toothache and swelling in my gums...kinda nasty. Anyway so I figure it's an absese because I had a root canal on that tooth last August/September or so and the dentist did have trouble with one of the canals. Man was this annoying I was icing and took some advil and that made it feel a bit better but I knew I needed some antibiotics pretty quickly. One of my brothers had an absese once and he ended up with swelling almost the size of a golf ball from his gums. The swelling I had was maybe like having an m&m in your gums but I didn't want to take any chances. So I found some amoxacilin I had so I started taking some of that and it worked out well. By Saturday night the swelling popped which was pretty gross but the pain was already getting better. Sunday morning the pain was almost gone but the swelling was for the most part done. This morning there is no longer any pain in my tooth and no swelling just a little irritation I think on the gums. Anyway I had a busy day sunday and I originally planned on taking the day off because of my tooth but I didn't think it was going to be that much better. Anyway I'll have to talk to a dentist today and I will go for a run tonight now that the pain is gone.

Weekly total: 15.5 miles....
