Bleh. Mother Nature has been wild the past few days. Something's got her all riled up.
As per usual when the weather changes so drastically, I am now battling a cold. It started with a sore throat, which has now become a dry, scratchy throat, and "spinny head" syndrome, and overall ickiness.
The good news: I hit up the gym on the weekend. Flow on Saturday, Combat on Sunday. Combat was extremely tough, but I loved it. It's my favourite GL class.
If I am feeling okay later, I am going to hit up another Flow class, and a 30-minute Pump class. Alternatively, I could do 30-minute Pump followed by 30-minute CXWORX, but that sounds hard given today's lack of strength.
This week will be a lot of rest, vitamin C, and liquids. I will exercise as much as I can, because I know it does help to a certain extent.
I'm going to start running again this week, too. New shoes, starting from 5:1s. Hopefully outside, when the weather improves. It may be okay by tomorrow or Wednesday. My next races will be 5K in Maine (July 27), 5K Army Run in Ottawa (Sept 23), and 10K in KW (Oktoberfest).
My question to you today, blogland: What are your tried-and-true cures for a pesky cold?
