Woke up Tuesday morning with intense pain in my right eye, fluid dripping out of my eye, high sensitivity to light, and reddish color in the eye. So, I am thinking "Crap, you have pink eye". Spent most of the next day on the phone trying to find someone to see me to get some drops for this thing. Long story short. I do not have pink eye. Actually, I have iritis/uveitis, which is increased inflammation to the iris that is caused by blunt trauma or disease (e.g. Lupus or thyroid malfunctions). Perhaps, I hit my head and I did not remember. I really hope that this issue is not a result of a disease. Long story short again, no contact lenses until further notice.
This throws a little bit of a wrench in my training plan because I really hate running (or anything besides watching tv or reading) with my eyeglass because they always slip off. Plus, I have a strong prescription so I actually need corrective lenses to see. I have this crazy fear that if I go running that I would lose my glasses and will not be able to find my way back home. I know that this is completely crazy, because sometimes I do my day-to-day activities with my glasses on.
Yesterday, I could not (actually did not want to) run. To keep up my cardio training, I did some elliptical intervals. I think this week was kind of a bust in regards to my training program. Also, it does not help that a "big" blizzard is hitting the Northeast this weekend. I guess that I will pick where I left off next week.If there is not too much snow on the ground.
