G'day, this will be a brief entry, as my last 7 days have been less than stellar. I woke up with the FLU last Sunday (02/10) after enjoying a solid workout on Saturday. I'm new to the Flu, so I didn't fully embrace it at first, or know what was wrong with me. Over the next few days I would go through a myriad of symptoms.
    On Sunday I woke up and felt like I had been in a fight and severely lost! I had a very liiiiiiiiiiight fever, but mostly just impressive body aches. Monday came and I felt a little better as far as the body aches go, but there was still no running to be done, as I had a minor fever. By Tuesday I was already tired of feeling sick. I felt light headed and pretty week. Wednesday found me with a massive "Nasal" headache. I had also never had one of these before and it was very tough to focus. I also had (for the early part of the morning) a tough time standing up and walking around, as I was suffering some impressive black outs! I'd stand up (didn't matter if it was slow or fast) and have my entire world go black!
    I was finally able to run (just 30 mins EASY) on Thursday. Same deal for Friday. I still didn't feel that strong, but I at least just had a cough (still do) to deal with, instead of fevers, chills, head aches, ect... Yesterday (Saturday) I was able to get another run in (40 mins EASY). I hope to get back to full training by Tuesday. I was able to run 50 mins today, but very slowly as my lungs/chest are still fighting the cough.
    So that's about it folks. I hope that my entry will have more running involved. I'm definitely on the road back already, so I'm happy about that. I just have to sit tight now and let this cough pass me over.

Peace & Love

Re: SICK , FLU
The 'flu can be totally debilitating. I am sure your trainers are telling you to be good to yourself so you can get better sooner rather than later. 

So, um, do that.

Yah my coach's husband (kinda like my assistant coach as well) Harlan, has taken great care of me. I'm actually feeling practically @ 100%, so I will surely go out for a good test run later on today. Assuming that goes well I'll resume my regular sched tomorrow with a workout. This has been an interesting experience, but definitely don't hope on ever having it again (the Flu).

Re: SICK , FLU
I was wondering where you had gone to- Smiley
I know how you feel er felt. I had the flu couple weeks ago and it was AWFUL!
You feel so completely helpless as this thing just slowly works its way through your system, zapping your strength.
I'm glad you're feeling better and back to running.
As for me, the weather here has been in the teens and below so it's been hard for me to get out. I've been doing my normal indoor walking, but it's not the same as being outside.
Hopefully winter will go soon so I can get down to business!

Re: SICK , FLU
Yah cheers for the mssg. I'm all better now or at least 99.99% healthy again so I'm glad to have the worst behind me. Winter here (in the past few weeks) has been relenting so hopefully our good weather will make it your way.

I don't think your good weather wants to come over to Michigan.  Smiley
I wouldn't blame it either.
Yesterday we had a snowstorm and this morning it was ten degrees.
Hmmm...maybe if I buy some flip-flops it may help to coax spring out a bit. Smiley
