When I went to bed last night, I had high hopes that I would be feeling better by this morning.

I was still congested as heck, but the burning in my throat had started to subside. So in my very optimistic way, I set my alarm for 4:30 planning to get up and get a run in before work.

Unfortunately, when I woke up, I wasn't feeling much better.

I'm not one of those people who will workout through a sickness, even if it is all above the chest and you're technically able to. Pushing it in a workout when my immune system is depleted just seems dumb and like a very good way it to take even longer until I feel better again.

I'm just starting to get frustrated. It's been almost a week since my last workout. Friday was a rest day, then I got sick on Saturday and I've been a bum trying to heal ever since.

I'm starting to feel like a lazy blob, but between my throat hurting and my sinuses being all backed up and my ears starting to hurt, I suppose rest is just what I need.
