Cold

Came down with a cold this weekend, which is a bit incongruous given that we're in the midst of a heat wave.

I forget if I mentioned it already, but I noticed in the afternoon on Saturday that my throat felt raw.  I wasn't sure if it was just from the dryness of the air during the late morning boot camp race or if I was getting sick.

Turns out...sick.  Yesterday was just the beginning.  Today, it's in my upper respiratory system and sinuses.  I'd like nothing better than to take a nap, in a cool air-conditioned room, of course.  Other than some up-and-down stairs, moving boxes, I didn't workout at all yesterday.  And it's not looking good for today.  I've decided I'm definitely not running.  I don't have the lungs and I think my ankles could still stand a little more rest.  If I do anything at all, it might be some easy time on the elliptical and a little weight-training for the leg and core.  But at this point, even that is unlikely.  It's already after 1PM and the chances of stealing an hour away from work at this point is diminishing.  If I was going to go, it would probably have had to been before noon.

We'll see.  Maybe just a walk for an hour this evening?  The dogs would like that.

I have to update Mike and Clarence on what's going on.  They had me scheduled through Sunday, but I didn't stick with the plan and now I think I need to regroup.  Melinda's staying with us for another day, so I don't know if Bailey's still planning on ballet tonight.  If so, I'll volunteer to take her and stop by Laces for a chat.  I still owe them $40 (plus I had them put a pair of shorts aside for me which I'll need to pay for.)
