Humility:
One should not publicly call themselves a "badass" on their blog because they ran a half marathon with strep and also say that strep isn't that bad or else they will get the most painful case of strep they can imagine right before a beach vacation. I'm talking unable to sleep, barely able to eat strep.
Oversharing:
Even if you think a nasty smelly algae and bacteria-laden lake you traversed might be important medical information to communicate concerning your potential strep infection, your doctor and nurse will look at you like you are completely insane and wonder why any normal person would voluntarily do this.

Oh no, Laura! Feel better. Hope you can get lots of rest.
Boo to strep! Though I feel your pain - a few years ago I ended up getting my tonsils out after three bouts of strep and I have never experienced something so painful (the strep, not the removal - the removal was a cake walk in comparison). Feel better soon!
So sorry Laura! I hope you get on strop drugs quickly and are up and running for your vacation soon.
I hope those antibiotics kick in quick!
I really don't think people who chose a profession where they are constantly exposed to disease vectors every day, should judge someone for jumping into murky water a few times a year.
Hope you feel better fast! Strep sucks, without a doubt. I'm sure especially the algae-induced variety ;-).
Oh no strep! That sucks! You should feel much better in about 24 hours now that you have the meds. I bet it's school germs. I always blame school germs, unless Trey brings it home. Then they are courtroom germs which are worst! Hope the boys and Jon don't get it.
I heard the water smelled like poo. Gross but I hope you feel better!
So sorry you're sick, and right before vacation too! Try to get some rest and take good care of yourself. Feel better soon!
At least you already have the antibiotics and hopefully will be on the mend by beach vacation time.
I agree - antibiotics now should equal feeling better by the time your vacay starts. I would love to have seen doc and nurse's face as you explained WD. The water we waded through for Cali WD was equally gross, murky and smelly. Probably my least favorite part of race.
Feel better soon!
Yucky. I hope you feel better!
Hope you're better soon and enjoy your vacay!
Didn't you just have strep? Maybe it never got completely cleared? I'm sorry you are sick and I hope you feel better asap!
feel better soon! i'm sure you'll be back to your regular badass self in no time ;)
