Sick of Being Sick

Not that my training regime was really headed anywhere fast to begin with this spring, but coming down with something (definitely more than a cold) really took every once of desire and strength I had to train out of me.

I started getting sick last Saturday. And I'm still sick today. First it was just a sore throat. Then it got so bad that I winced every time I had to swallow. Wow did my throat hurt. Bad. And no drug store remedy was doing much to relieve me of my pain. Next, I pretty much lost my voice. Then I entered this realm of congestion vs. constantly draining. This usually only occurred at night seemingly just to rob me of the sleep my body so badly needed.

All of this was really convenient as my job as a dietitian dictates that I speak with patients on a daily basis. Needless to say, I didn't see any patients the last week unless I absolutely had to. And if only they knew why I didn't see them, I'm sure they'd be very very glad that I didn't drop by to leave my germs.

So I imagine that I am finally on the upswing of this thing. However, I still sound like a chain-smoking 60 year old, my nose will not stop forcing a pleasant green phlegm out, and I'm still very tire.

I did manage to ride the trainer for a whopping 30 minutes yesterday. Maybe I'll run today. Who knows... Happy training!
