Well, folks, after my 5.5 mile run on Monday, I was stuck in bed for the next two days. Travis and I both came down with a stomach bug and were home sick together for two days. I didn't do anything on Tuesday (ok, I got up at 4:30, got dressed and left the house only to turn around because my stomach was hurting so bad), and Wednesday I was still not feeling great so I took another day of rest to get my energy back.
This morning, I hit spin class and while it wasn't the hardest I've pushed, I still got a great workout and enjoyed the class. I could tell I was drained, though because I couldn't push it nearly as hard as I wanted. Weird moment after the class was over. We were stretching and my heart suddenly misfired.....raced at 220 for about 1.5 minutes. :( Stupid thing...... Anyway, taking things a little at a time. Hoping to get a run in tonight after my first piano recital.
I'm glad you took the time off and didn't try to push through feeling sick. You might consider taking another day off so your body can fully recover. Nothing wrong with that this early in the game. On another note, I signed up and paid the fee for the Striders Winter Racing Series. Between that, training, coaching, and attending MaKayla's gym meets, I'm gonna be one busy dude!
