It all started yesterday. I felt a tickle in my throat when my alarm went off at 5:00 am but assumed it was just dry from the fan being on. So I went and taught my spin class. I felt a little weak while I was teaching but figured it must have been because I was on tired legs since I did Monday's run after work and didn't have enough time to rest. Then went out to lift weights and several times had to stop because I was seeing spots. By the time I got home from the gym I was completely wiped out. I took a hot shower, got my kids off to school, called in sick to work and went back to bed. I slept for 5 straight hours. Very unlike me.
Then last night I slept good so I got up to run this morning. It's always hard to gauge how you feel in the morning because honestly I always feel like crap until I get going. Well this morning was totally different the more miles we went I felt worse. I cut the run short by a mile and had to walk part of my last mile because I was feeling so weak. Same thing today. Get the kids off and go back to bed. I'm not sure what I have because I don't have any other symptoms besides a headache, exhaustion and body aches. This better go away soon because I have lots to get done and really don't have time for this.
Usually if I exercise when I'm a little sick it makes me feel better. But this time it seems to just be draining me of everything I have left.
I've always followed the advice that if the sickness is in the neck up then it's ok to go EASY. But if it's in the chest or stomach to not exercise.
