This Cold Is So Kicking My Ass
I told Tay between sniffles last night that if I felt the tiniest bit better this morning that I was going to take my stuff downtown and hit the treadmill. I'd read somewhere that you shouldn't run with a sore throat but that you could if you were stuffed up because running helps loosen all that yucky stuff and helps your body expel it faster. Tay suggested that I was crazy - he said that I'm sick and that my body needs to conserve it's strength to get well, not to do 5km on the treadmill. While I had to agree with him, I was convinced that my cold was progressing and that by this morning, my cold would have progressed past the sore throat part and all that I would be left with would be stuffiness and some soreness. Positive thinking right?
Anyhow, I woke up this morning feeling yet again like I'd be hit by a mac truck, still sore throat, still stuffed up, headachy and sore and so warm that I wonder if I haven't been running a fever off and on during the night. I debated long and hard going into work (yeah, I had given up on the idea of a morning run, but I was trying to use BodyFlow at lunch as a lure) and finally decided that I couldn't do it. I was too miserable, besides which, why risk passing my cold onto my coworkers?
So I'm home and I haven't worked out since Monday and it sucks. I'm going to work tomorrow and you'd better believe that if I don't get up for BP in the morning, I'm going on my lunch hour at the very least.
Stupid cold.
