Strep
I have strep throat. I've been prescribed with medication. When would I be able to start running again? I ran monday, had to stay in bed tues & wed. Right now I feel horrible so tomorrow is looking doubtful. If I'm improved on friday, would that be good? Or should I wait till monday? I'm afraid of gaining weight. Thanks!

I would say Monday would be fine. Usually it takes people a week or so to get over strep throat, at least from my friends' experiences. Since you're obviously a runner, I assume you're athletic, and will most likely get over it quicker than most.
And don't worry about gaining weight. If you can any weight at all, it will be less than a pound. I'm sure you'll be able to run anything you do gain off in no time!
Feel better!

Atleast wait until Saturday. You're body is still fighting the infection, so its no time to challenge it even more by exercising. Rest, rest, rest. I don't think you'll have to worry about gaining weight that quickly. Plus, if your throat hurts you probably won't eat as much anyways. So like I said, just give it until Saturday unless you still feel like crap.
Good Luck<3
