Recovery?
The Off-Season Plague seems to have vanished. By yesterday evening, all my symptoms except the swollen glands were gone. Today, those seem to have departed as well. This is a good thing. I'll definitely be taking a spin on the stationary trainer for about 30 minutes today...but that has to wait until after I get some errands done. I need to go get some champagne for tonight, a new shirt-and-tie to wear to a job interview on Wednesday, and must follow-up on some email/SMS messages today.
So yeah. Hoping I can resume training shortly.
Illness Update/Staying Motivated
So, I think I'm getting better. The fever seems to be gone, as does the sore throat. These are both good things, as I am sick to death of laying on the couch, drinking 2-3 liters of Gatorade a day, and eating chicken soup. The glands in my neck are still swollen like hell and tender to the touch. (Note, despite the swollen glands, my tongue has not turned black, so we can rule out bubonic plague. I know this disappoints some of you, but whatever.)
Bah.
Woke up this morning with one of the worst colds ever. Not sure if it's the flu, or what, but wow. High fever, swollen glands, nasty sore throat, and the beginnings of a cough. I've already taken steps to alleviate the symptoms -- 600mg of ibuprofen for the pain in the throat, a couple of cough drop/throat lozenge thingies, and running the humidifier. I've also got a half-gallon of Gatorade and about 1500mg of vitamin C sitting here that I need to ingest.
I usually get like this once a year. Funny how it this year it actually waited until the off-season. I'm pretty happy about that, even though I feel like hammered dogshit.
