So it seems the first things to go when I get sick is logging and swimming. Yet I can still bike and run?!

The sickness was probably coming on for awhile, the week prior I was dragging and tired. Saturday night I slept 10 hrs! Then Sunday after the run I came home COLD and couldn't get warm. By the afternoon I had a headache, muscle aches, stuck on the couch with space heater. Slept another 10 hrs.

Monday morning I was wiped, went to work a few hours then came home but had energy to burn and the "need" to do something. So a spin on the trainer. I felt better right afterwards but then sick again later in the evening.

Tuesday I ran from the house thinking I'd only make it a mile or two. But I lasted until 5, at which point I started to lose the mental drive. Again that night I felt sick--tired, cold, headachy, sinus pain.

Weds I skipped the swim in part out of laziness. I convinced myself that I could swim later. Did the Hills Country DVD and felt good.

Thursday it was raining but I ran anyway. I felt slow but the pace didn't reflect it all that much. I was OK enough to backtrack to find the hat I lost, but that only added a few tenths. That afternoon everything else was feeling OK but I had such severe gut pain I googled appendicitis to be sure I didn't have it! Might have been the batch of kale chips or eggplant chips I ate in the morning? Too much of a good thing?

And now Friday. I'm resting today to prepare for the Wildwood race tomorrow. I feel great, a little nervous about my tummy (which is OK) so far.

I get sick so rarely, I wonder what I got exposed to and I also wonder why I just can't stop to recover. I kept telling myself: below the neck=think about it, above the neck = HTFU and run.
