Watch What You Eat

Over the weekend, I ended up eating something that did NOT agree with me. I was sick all day Sunday and totally drained with headaches all day Monday. (I think it was food poisoning. Entirely my fault.) I spent two whole days on the couch or in bed.

Though today I felt much better and was able to get back to my life, I didn’t expect there to be lasting consequences. I was a little tired when I got home from work, but after getting dinner started I still went out for a short walk around the neighborhood. The sun was shining, but showers were on their way — it was now or never. Less than halfway around our “big” block, I was exhausted! I barely made it back before the rains began.

I wasn’t able to do my normal mileage Saturday morning and I was wiped out Sunday and Monday. But I did not expect to still be recovering Tuesday.

In a few days I’ll be fine, but in the meantime I’ll take it easy and act as if I am starting from scratch. I haven’t been working out as hard as normal recently, so maybe this is a sign I need ramp it up a bit.
