Third time Lucky

[co] … or not. So hit by 3rd bout of sickness over the past weekend… what’s it with me this winter? Seem to be ready to catch something a little too easy (I guess had it pretty good last few years, but really getting over it).

So Saturday lunchtime (post training… where I knew things weren’t going too well as the Codral wore off during the session and the hill running effort was all darkness and hurt) rugged up on couch, 3 layers of clothing, heater working overtime… and I am still cold. I realized the truth of the situation (that I had a fever) once I was half way through watching Kung Fu Panda and was laughing myself silly. Never was a cartoon panda so funny… yes I had succumbed again to the flu/or whatever.




So after some more serious denial of the situation, which wasn’t accepted by anyone in my house that day, I realized that there would be no training Sunday (again). So hoped to beat it and sort myself out this week.

I guess what can you do? I take various concoctions of vitamins and other random things which are meant to help. But maybe I have just been exposed to more bugs this year and so have caught more? Hard to say.

It is also hard to fit the urge to train on top of all this… or play catch up. Give yourself those 2 days off and then catch up on what’s lost…. I know what is gone is gone. But the reality is that after missing so many sessions and I guess feeling a little out of control of the situation it is tempting….

Anyway they say things happen in 3s. I agree. Now I don’t think I am superstitious etc, but in terms of sport I am. Lucky this, lucky that…. And so now with the 3rd bout of sickness I am done! There is nothing more after this re winter ails etc… so bring it on. After I have had a nap on the couch for a few more hours…. Arrggghhhhh!!!!!!
