Workout
Wednesday-rest
Thursday-rest
I woke up yesterday morning feeling under the weather. I could feel a cold coming on but I also had an unusual body ache(similar to the flu). I thought about jumping on the treadmill, but it was as if Runners World was stalking me, I received this email:
I agree with the article, it’s better to take a few days off and then come back stronger in my opinion.
Remember Tuesday I only ran 3 miles and was feeling crappy? Now I know why. Today/last night I feel horrible. Normal cold symptoms on top of the flu=( I plan on taking the rest of the week off unless I miraculously wake up feeling like 100 bucks.
So, here are some things we did right before we got sick, J overload, enjoy=)
yesterday morning J ‘helped’ me mop
today we’re playing lots of train while mom lays on the couch
At the library hoping to get Gone Girl, no luck I’m #54 on the waiting list=(
Even though I wasn’t feeling great last night, we had already made plans to go out. Josh’s sister watched J. I can’t refuse a night out alone with the hubs no matter how sick I’m feeling=)
Chipotle Salad for me, Angus burger for Josh
Tell me about your workouts since I can’t/won’t workout today=)
What are some fun happenings lately?

I’m not feeling great either, and have definitely been taking it easier lately. I seem to have an annoying lingering cold that doesn’t want to go away!! I may try to get in the short run I had planned today though 🙂
I hate those lingering colds, I hope you feel better soon. I hope you feel good enough for your short planned run!
Good for you for taking a rest day! I know they are not easy but much needed when you are under the weather! Feel better!
Thanks, they are definitely not easy, but sometimes necessary=)
I am with you, I totally take rest days when I am sick even if it is an extended period of time.
I know it’s for the best, but it can be so hard! I just keep telling myself that when I do get to run it will feel so good. I’d rather wait for that than run too early and feel more horrible=/
Hope you feel better soon! I’ve been wanting to read Gone Girl- I might just bite the bullet and buy it for my kindle.
I know i might just have to buy it at Costco…I wish my library would just purchase more than one copy haha
Feel better! I haven’t been feeling 100% the last couple days either, so I have been taking it pretty easy. We took Nola on a 2 mile walk this morning and that was the extent of my exercise for the day!
This winter has been brutal for everyone! Spring can not come fast enough!! I hope you feel better.
Good for you for taking it easy! I know it is super hard sometimes. Hoping for a couple of treadmill miles after work tonight. Feel better.
Thanks, and I hope those treadmill miles treat you well! Run for me since I can’t=)
I did my final training run for my half marathon! It’s finally here (on Sunday)!!! Good for you for taking it easy! I’m spending the weekend in Disney World this weekend and I’m also celebrating a 4 year Veggieversary on Monday..so that’s exciting in my world 😀
Ahhh I’m so pumped for you, can’t wait to read all about it=)
Hope you feel better and get lots of needed rest! Maybe when you feel better, you and cutie pie should just lay out in the sun! Me and the kiddos are basking out in the sunny backyard (with sweaters n gloves) after school today to soak up some Vitamin D;-). Take care!
Thanks, and yes! I would love to get some much needed vitamin D!!
so sorry you’re sick. that’s no fun at all. especially with a little one to care for. (here’s to a speedy recovery.) i always workout through my sickness because i can take the kids to the gym and it’s actually easier to do that when i’m sick than to play referee ALL day at home. but rest is best i am sure.
yesterday’s workout included discovering a new core class at the gym that was actually challenging. the other one i have taken was from an instructor who was probably in her late 60’s-70’s and while i am all for AOA (active older adults) i am not one and it was WAY too easy. so i am happy about that and plan to go back for more next week:)
today will be a “sampler platter” of a workout if you will. some running, cycling, weights and HIIT (tabata). should be fun.
get well soon:)
I like the idea of a ‘sample platter’ workout, that’s great! I hope I can feel better by tomorrow or even saturday for a nice long run=)
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. Skipping your run is definitely the right thing to do. The added stress of the run on top of being ill would just make you sicker for a longer period of time. Feel better soon! 🙂
I’ve been having to push myself extra hard lately to get out of bed and out for a run. I blame it on the cold weather!!
I’m glad you took the day off! Sometimes,when I’m sick, the phrase “sweating it out” does work. Most of the time – BED!
Hope you feel better! I know the feeling of missing a workout when your under the weather. No fun! But your smart to listen to your body.
