Bronchitis and a sinus infection. On a zPack. Hope it knocks it out of me in a couple of days. Think it all came about as allergy related issues. This is the suffering I get from the quick spring.

No energy

I think somebody is trying to tell me not to do this race. Between the feak ankle sprains, I now have a head cold. My wife got sick on Thursday and of course I have it now. Hopefully I get over it quickly. I have a business trip to Boston on Monday that will require me to get up at the ass crack of dawn. So much for getting some rest.

Was going to swim this morning. Got up around 5:30 to swim. Laid back down and next thing I know it was 7:25. Needless to say I missed swimming. Will ride this afternoon and swim tomorrow morning.

Foot is kind of sore this morning. No more running until next Saturday. Hopefully 8 days off will heal it.
