Sick Days-
I spent a long day in the car last Wednesday and was feeling kinda bad on Thursday morning. I did the normal set- an ABB, hit the pool for a short swim and then drove into the city. By the time I got to my office, I felt bad- head was in a vise and I had a low grade fever. So decided to head home and get some rest. I spent all of Thursday evening in bed and woke up Friday pretty much feeling the same. Since everything was above the neck, I decided to do a short spin- 30 minutes or so and then spent the rest of the day on the couch. Saturday I got up- feeling a bit better, but not ready for Tough Love, so I did a 45 minute spin, building to Threshold over the last 10 minutes. That really helped. I got a runners high from the workout and I think that helped to push whatever I had out fast. Finally on Sunday I did a 2:15 moderate spin at low zone two and about 180watts (yeah I finally have a power meter!).
Today is a rest day and I am taking it- I slept in until 7 AM and am taking it easy. I think my body will appreciate the rest. Tomorrow I am ready to hit it hard!
Hope everyone else is having fun with the challenge. Being sick sucks, but I definitely feel that the Spinervals 32 day challenge has had some awesome impacts on my fitness and motivation!
