Sick = Teh Sux

Nothing like an illness to derail you.

On Saturday last week I was getting ready to ride my trainer for a while when I looked outside and saw little snowflakes begin to fall. Since it never snows in Vancouver, I thought it would be great to go ride outside and experience it firsthand.

I did a loop around UBC (1 hour) and got pretty cold. It was nice out and totally worth the ride, but the next day I started to feel sick. What followed was one of those somewhat annoying illnesses where you feel weak, warm, and fuzzy, but too lazy to do anything involving exercise.

So, I did nothing all week, and only went to work for two days. I basically stayed at home and played Final Fantasy, hoping that the week off would allow me time to finish the game (it didnt).

Fortunately, that sickness landed on my rest week, so I didn't feel too bad not doing anything, but getting back on the saddle this week has been tough. I did a 1 hour ride today finally and got my mojo back, so to speak. Tomorrow I run and see if I can keep this momentum going until around Christmas.
