cellulitis--darn it!

I agree. Until you feel better and the Keflex seems to be kicking in, take it easy. Your body needs all it's energy to fight the infection right now.

A very wise person once told me..." when in doubt, leave it out", skip the run and let your body heal....

If that's cellulitis I'm surprised you have the energy to even think about running.

Well, I'm not at my usual level of energy to be sure, but I'm not totally wiped out either. Actually, now that I think of it, maybe this was why I didn't feel quite up to par on my run yesterday--I had chalked it up to the headwinds I experienced on a few stretches, but it's entirely possible that it had to do with fighting this infection. On the bright side, I've gotten a lot of studying done this afternoon while sitting on the couch with my foot up!!

cellulitis?
I thought that was bumpy fat that ladies hate in their thighs?
It's painful and can mess up your toe?

Can someone explain?

You're thinking of cellulite, which although the words are similar is a totally different thing. Cellulitis is an infection of the skin, generally caused by staph or strep bacteria.
