What the flu

Hate to tell you this....but took me a good two weeks before I had most of my energy back, and even though I could run at that point, it knocked me out and I needed a nap. It's been 3 weeks now and I finally feel like my old self again.

either of you get flu shots?  i just got mine and immunity (if it works) doesnt kick in for another ten days so I'm hoping to dodge it.

Everyone is different.  Listen to your body.  Resume gradually with very light and short workouts.  

I picked up the flu xmas day evening and I can tell you I have never been that sick in my entire life.  I was out a good 2 weeks before I could workout and not feel like I was dragging @ss!  I did try and workout about a week afterward and was completely exhausted, especially with running.  I was worried about losing fitness but after finally getting over being sick I was able to pick up relatively were I left off.  I hope are on the downhill slide!!!

Recovered after 2 days from the onset of fever. I did get the flu shot.

No flu shot. Had six days with a fever of 100or more. I'm already laid up with postsurgery stuff, so ni real training impact (although FWIW, I am still coughing up schmerm two weeks later.)

Total time about a week, not sure I am 100% yet though.  I had aches, fever, dizziness, etc.  I received the flu mist instead of a shot.  This was the first time I have had the flu in over 12 years.

I was down for 10 days.

I've had three different coworkers who were down for 7 - 10 days with this thing that's been going around.  It hasn't been a good flu season.
