Sick

Hey all. Haven't posted in ages it seems. Well, like the title of this post says, I got hit really hard by the flu. Or something very similar to the flu. After body aches, a fever, sniffles, coughing, and all sorts of fun things, well...I'm still sick. Anyway, I was forced by my aching self to put training on hold for 3 days. THREE WHOLE DAYS. I was devastated. I was THIIIS close to going running on Sunday night, but I was told I'd be crazy to do so. Well, I suppose I was crazy tonight too because after being holed up in my room for 3 days (actually no, I went to class and interned, sorry to those folks I most likely got sick) I went to the gym and did 30 mins of stationary biking just to get myself back into the swing of things. It felt good, but right after I stopped wheezing (yes, wheezing) I started sneezing. So I'm obviously not back in the game yet. I haven't decided what tomorrow will bring. I might do some yoga orrr...I might try to run, but breathing is hard with a stuffy nose. I think I'll do what I can for the rest of the week without pushing myself too hard and then I'll have to repeat this week of training next week, which will put me a week behind, but since the half is on April 9th, I still have time to do that.

As for training itself, it's been awesome. I run, I cross train either on the stationary bike or in the pool (I looove the pool and the sauna after!) and I do speed work on the treadmill, usually. The weather has been so cold that I've been doing mostly indoor running. But I need to start outdoor running so that I can get used to the terrain. Also, I really want a Garmin. Kind of random. Well, time to drink some tea and knock myself out with nighttime cold meds.

Winter, are we done yet?
