Tuesday: Sick, stayed home all day. Barely left the couch.
Wed: Still sick. Stayed home. Went to the Mule clothing try on party. Ordered some new mule gear for this year. Came home and took it easy.
Thurs.
Felt better so got up and went in to work. Nothing huge at work today so still took it easy.
Went home and the weather seemed nice so went out on a ride with Erik. Just an hour of easy spinning. The cold wind was making me cough. This night my neck and head were very sore and tired. Maybe from coughing. My eyes hurt too.
Friday
Had to get up early for a big mouse day at work. Felt pretty crappy. Ughh. My neck and eyes hurt. Took some ibuprofen. Had a big day at work. Lots going on and helping the undergrad doesn't make it any easier. Skipped run becuase I didn't have time. Also didn't make time because I wasn't feeling great. Went and got another massage. Matt really worked my legs. I guess my IT band area is very very tight. Went home did some chores and went to bed. Erik and some of the other Mules were getting ready to leave for Clinton for the race the next day.
Sat.
Slept in. Made breakfast. Did some chores. Had a traumatic experience at the mouse house. Went on a run. Felt like crap. Everytime I had to go up a hill my whole body just revolted. Legs tired, cardio tired. Ran for ~an hour. Slow trot and some walking up hills. Not feeling good.
Rallied and jumped into pool for a little while. Did a warm up, some drills and got out. The moisture in the air was really good. Felt much better after swimming.
Had a nice evening with Megan L. Made dinner and chatted over a little wine and tea for a long time. Glad to have a chance to catch up with friends.
Sun.
Slept in. Still not feeling great. Nose will not stop being plugged up. Nose and lips are getting irritated. Keep using netty pot to clear out nose. The weather was a little cold and I really wanted to get outside to ride. Called Lisa and went to breakfast.
Around 3 rallied and went on a nice long ride by myself. The weather was good, but going into the wind I would start coughing. The same thing as running, going up hills my legs and cardio would revolt. Took the ride very easy though. Enjoyed the sights and was amazed at all the new building in the area despite this recession. The dirt roads are perfect right now. Not graded, just some slightly tacky dirt.
Came home and ate some spicy bone marrow soup. Really felt good in clearing out my sinuses. Thanks Erik for cooking.
Woke up again last night with neck very sore. Seems to be related to biking. Took some ibuprofen and went to work.
Note on health- Nose is still congested and coughing from the nasal drip. Body feeling tired still. Ugghh. Want to get over this cold. I keep wanting to be outside, but the cold air really makes me cough. Should maybe stick to some inside training for a while or not go out unless it is really warm. I don't think I am ready for a hard week to start on Wed.
