Rough Week

This week was pretty hard for me. I was sick, and trying to fight it hard, and prevent it from getting worse. I just felt really down in the dumps, and upset about being sick. Not being able to work out/knowing I should take it easy made it even worse.

By Friday, I no longer had the sore throat that was really bothering me earlier in the week, but was still quite achy. Luckily, I got to go pick up my new bike, which brightened my spirits!

Sat, my left quad was really sore, which was strange and a little troubling since I had not done any exercise or anything to make it sore. I went to the gym with the intention of doing an ellitical workout, and taking it easy. I did about 5 min of elliptical. That seemed to bother my leg the most. I then hit the treadmil for the slowest run I have done in a long time. I did 45 min though, and felt better.

I felt much better this morning, and did 2 hours on the trainer. I did the Aero Basebuilder spinervals. I quite liked them, and felt pretty good for the ride. I was considerably more cheerful feeling today. Nothing like those exercise endorphins!

I find it so hard to miss workouts, as I feel like I am instantly losing fitness, and will pay for it in August. I know that is pretty unreasonable, but it is hard when I have such a big goal that I am working towards. I really do not like any derailments. I was happy that I made the smart choice of not exercising for 3 days though, and hopefully I have made a full recovery. I will still try to ensure I am getting alot of sleep.

I am quite happy with my little bike. It is quite pretty, and will hopefully be good to me! I really do not have tons to say about it, as I have not ridden it yet. I would like to take it out for a spin, but it is quite cold here. It is supposed to be in the -18c range all week, so I dont when that will happen.

I still have to do a more extensive photo shoot, but I dont know when I will get to that. I have a quiz, assignment due, and midterm this week, and 2 midterms next week. Should be fun!
