Sick Leave
Just when I thought I could start training again, I was struck by a slight fever, achy bones, and a tummy ache yesterday. I spent the entire day in bed consumed by an overall feeling of blahness, thinking about 1) the near perfect weather for swimming, 2) missed gym visit that day, 3) downgrading my 15k Happy Run registration to a 5k (arggh, I hate the idea, but I think a sick, recently-injured runner like me has got to bite the bullet and accept her sad fate), and last but not the least, 4) how Rustom (or Bebe Gandanghari) was able to gain his/her new waif-like figure in three months time through Pilates!
Yes, I know, I had too much idle time on my hands yesterday. Thanks to Tylenol, I’m feeling much better now. Today is still rest/ recovery day. Hopefully, I’m strong enough for a short run and yoga tomorrow.
