I’ve been fighting off some sort of a cold bug lately, and just generally feeling run down. \u00a0I figured that it was probably just all the training, but when the sniffles started, I knew it was something more. \u00a0It was almost a relief, actually. \u00a0It wasn’t my training wearing me out! \u00a0It was the cold that’s floating around the office!<\/p>\n

I might be the only person happy to get sick. \u00a0We amateur athletes are a little bit insane sometimes.<\/p>\n

Okay, most of the time.<\/p>\n

So yesterday, I took a sick day from work. I spent the day on the couch watching tv, drinking tea, and generally resting. \u00a0And it felt fabulous. \u00a0No work, no chores, no training, just a day of relaxing. \u00a0(Well, I cleaned off the DVR by catching up on TV – does that count as cleaning?)<\/p>\n

Today, I feel a million times better, and while I would like to be back on my couch, I don’t feel like I need to be back on my couch. \u00a0Sometimes it’s good to just take a day to rest and recuperate. \u00a0But it’s back to the daily grid. \u00a0Lots of work to be done, both at the office and out on the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
