Tough Week!

I took the first three days of the week off. I have not taken more than one day off of training in a very long time. I headed back to the doctor and was told that I had laryngitis, pink eye, a sinus infection, and bronchitis. All at the same time! I have never felt so weak, tired and just plain awful, ever, in my entire life!

I decided to slowly work my way back into my normal routine. I attempted to run the day after I was told I was sicker than was originally thought, not a good idea. It's a bad sign when you feel like you're drowning while running. I ran the next day and felt great, gotta love antibiotics!

My totals for the week are actually pretty good considering the time I took off-
Swim- 1.25 miles
Bike- 96.6 miles
Run- 10.48 miles

I was not able to bike 60 miles on my birthday. I was not completely healthy and the weather man predicted thunderstorms (which never came!). I did have a great birthday and did my own triathlon at the gym (1400yd swim, 25 mile bike, and a 3 mile run) and I even got the road bike out later in the day :) All this activity allowed me to eat a huge piece of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting!
