Fuck is all I can say...

I'm not very stoked right now. Went on a run, could only run for 2-2.5 miles and had to stop...I ran that in 25 minutes or more...I had to slow my pace because of my fucking tooth. I have so much pressure, pain, throbbing, ache in my mouth because of my tooth that not only is it making it hard to eat but also hard to run. I also ate too close to my run - I could feel the food sit heavy in my stomach as I ran - I waited 1.5 hours before I went out but I guess I need to wait 2 hours before I go out.
This tooth situation isn't good...I hate doctors and dentists and I never go to the doctor but I don't know what the hell to do about teeth...I made an appointment earlier today to see the dentist on Thursday but I think I'm going to have to bump it up to tomorrow...for now I have been using Clove Bud oil to numb it out (I'm thinking of getting some Vodka - I hear it helps cover pain for several hours!) and baking soda in water as a gargle. I also need to drink Red Clover tea cause my tooth could be infected and possibly abscessed.
I hope that I don't have to get this tooth extracted because I would then have to rest for several weeks which would bum me - that would mean no running.

3 things to remember:
  • Drink tons of water throughout the day.
  • Eat well throughout the day and be sure to eat within 20-30 mins after workouts and runs.
  • Stretch after workouts and runs.
I just learned that the fireworks capital (in this country) is New Castle, PA! HA! What pointless knowledge! Okay, time to go deal with this damn tooth.
