Well, it happened. I had been battling a cold for about 2 weeks and successfully warding it off with vitamin C and ColdEze lozenges but this week, everyone at work got sick - including me.
The week started off ok. I got my normal 2 mile run in on Monday, core workout on Tuesday, 2 miles on Wednesday but Wednesday night - it hit. In a matter of minutes, after dinner Wednesday night, my head started filling up with snot. I knew it was too late for more ColdEze or vitamin C. When I woke up Thursday morning - I was sick.
I tried to muscle through. I did a really half a$$ed core workout. Amanda and I had a 5 miler planned for after work. I started it but only made it two miles before the pressure behind my right eye made it impossible to go any further. I still tried a half a$$ed core workout on Friday but it was pathetic.
Amanda and I were supposed to go 8 miles on Saturday. Knowing how clogged my head still felt, we skipped the run and went Outlet Mall Christmas shopping instead. I'm sure I got in a couple of miles worth of walking but it's just not the same.
My husband and I did our community's Candlelight Walk tonight. It is a couple of miles of walking to all the churches and some historic homes in the community where they sing carols at each location and have cookies and beverages. At least I stayed a little active over the weekend.
I'm starting to feel a little better so I am planning for my regular two mile run in the morning and I HOPE that I can get back on my training track this week and I hope I didn't lose too much progress.
How do you stay active and continue training when you're sick?
