Under the Weather

One bad thing about running in the cold rain is the potential for getting sick. And I did! Took Monday and half of a day Tuesday to shake this bugger. When ill I go back to one of my early coach's (Bob Miteria) remedies- college broth, low aerobic-end work, and rest. It worked when I got really sick a month and a half before Ironman Arizona. Also, as a diabetic, we tend to have compromised immune systems so it is a double whammy and more reason to work harder to get better because a cold has the potential to put us down longer. Fluids and monitoring blood sugar (200 now) and more fluids, followed by monitoring blood sugar! Off to do weights and a 30 minute run on the dreaded treadmill and get that blood sugar down to 150!
