The new year started with a bang. I didn't have my January training plan yet, so I continued to do what I had been doing. Monday was swim day. I checked the pool schedule at my gym and saw no classes scheduled, so I decided in the sake of being efficient, I would try to squeeze it in prior to my chiropractor appointment, which is located across the street. Unfortunately, I got to the pool to find that not only was a water aerobics class in progress, they had taken half of the lanes down to hold it. Another lane had three people walking in it, which left only two lanes left for lap swimming. Arg. So much for efficiency. I did manage to eke out a swim, even if it was a short one.
Tuesday was the first night of KC Multisport Power Hour spin class. Then, Wednesday, I was struck down with the flu. It hit me quite suddenly and like a hammer. I left work early with a headache, chills and back cramps that were so severe that I likened them to back labor, not that I've ever experienced those. I rarely ever have a fever and was somewhat surprised when my thermometer kept climbing well above 98.6. Of course, I misread the dang thing and proceeded to post in Facebook that my thermometer was reading 106. Yes, I know that 106 is probably fatal, and I assumed it was wrong, but it did make for a little drama. A few hours later I realized that six tick marks past 100 was not 106, but 101.2. Hey, I had a fever. How was I supposed to be coherent?
Happily, my fever was almost back to normal by 10:30 that night, so it was also short lived, thank goodness. I did end up missing three days of workouts this week, so my normal off day on Sunday, will be filled with at least a swim. Too bad my bike and trainer are at the Power Hour location and I can't do a spin...
I'm crossing my fingers that I got my sick-y out the way for the year and can get down to the business of training!
