Only human
I think I am getting a cold, and it has been developing (slowly but surely) all day. I woke up not feeling very rested despite getting a decent amount of sleep. I biked as usual and felt pretty much the same as yesterday--my knee was okay even on hills and I didn't have any other aches and pains. I am running out of "In Treatment" episodes but luckily a new "Real World Road Rules Challenge" episode aired last night and my DVR caught it. That show is so silly, but it's kind of fun to watch people being active (during the challenges) especially compared to watching people in therapy.
The first couple of hours at work seemed to drag today, and a conference call I had got rescheduled, so I wasn't stressed. But then a lot of work resulted from another meeting, and as I started to write what I needed to, the project became more time-sensitive. At the same time, I started to realize that my throat was hurting. Tylenol didn't do a whole lot and neither did a hot drink from Starbucks. By the time I left, I was wondering whether I should just skip the gym...but decided to try it. I biked for 25 minutes before I just couldn't take it anymore, I felt so crappy. I tried lifting and it just didn't happen. Ugh, there's nothing I hate more than an unfinished workout but it was useless.
When I got home, I thought I should check my temperature, even though I just feel kind of "off"--weak and such--and not feverish. I have a low normal temp, but it was only 98.0 so I think I'm good. Maybe I am just run down, who knows. I have a lot to do tomorrow so I am going to just relax tonight and hope that does the trick.
