Still feeling green...

It was a rough night last night. I had the sweats, couldn't fall asleep and my stomach hurt so much. At 2 am I got up and had cranberry juice, a banana and an Advil. It worked and I was able to sleep uninterrupted until 8 am.

I still felt lousy when I got up, and all day long, but was a 100% better than last night. My focus all day has been to eat and drink. Every couple of hours I'm trying to eat something healthy and drink lots of liquids throughout the day. For most of the day I was on the couch, watching the Tour and surfing the net. I kept debating if I should train or not, I have such trouble just sitting and doing nothing.

I finally decided that I was going to go for a swim and if I couldn't handle it, I'd just cut it short. Swimming is not like running and biking. If you don't do it, you lose it quickly. It wasn't an easy swim because I was water logged from all the water I was drinking and I'm sick of water and swimming in it made it worse. But I persevered and was able to finish the session and my speed was pretty good with all things considered.

I was then thinking that I should go for a run, but that's were I drew the line and said no. I'm feeling weak and I didn't see any benefit in a 35 minute run. I figured that missing today's run will do more good than harm. I need to get my mojo back.

Yesterday, when I was sick and on my back, Reid set up his movie studio downstairs with green screen and all. I hope he makes it big time and it's all worth it because he drives Alice crazy with all the messes he makes and she ends up having to clean up.
