I cannot believe I have been this under the weather for this long! Today I am going to walk on the treadmill and see what happens. Two days ago I thought I felt good enough for a bike but about 20 minutes in, well, not so much! So I took a few more days off.
Training while you are sick below the neck is not wise. Your body needs time to recover but it stinks! I can't remember a time when I went this long without doing SOMETHING! I guess it won't hurt me, but I sure don't like it.
With a race next weekend and a Triathlon in two weeks, I hope I can hit it hard! My new bike sits waiting for me (picked it up yesterday)....I cannot wait to get it outdoors! Maybe today - just a short ride. I feel like a kid...I am so thankful!!! So happy!
I hope you can get out and enjoy the weather today!
Happy Miles!

Being sick STINKS!
I am not one to be sick. I can't tell you the last time I felt bad...until Tuesday. Ugh. I would have to say I may not be sympathetic enough to those who come down with colds, or the flu, often. I know we all get sick but some get sick, a lot! I feel sorry for them now! My usual thought is we should take better care of our bodies so we don't get sick...but I guess the germs find us anyway. So here I am. Hoping to be well enough to crawl out of bed for something other than hugging the porcelain god, grasping for my cup to unstick my throat, or blowing my nose. Hoping I am well enough to return to training soon. Hoping for a nice Venti Starbucks....back to life as I know and love.
