I'm amazed at how quickly they saw you but the infection would explain the fever!<br /><br />I'm another runner who respects recovery (and try and get my athletes to do the same!). It's just not worth it to try and push through as you could end up in recovery for longer.<br /><br />Well wishes for your recovery and your stay in hospital!
