Ups and Downs

I have another chest infection. I am assuming this was down to the 89 miles on Sunday in cold, wet crappy conditions. I knew my breathing was worse but thought it was just a bit of asthma, but it seems now that's how my infections will cause me to react. So I didn't actually realise until Thursday, despite some (very hard) training on Tuesday and more on Wednesday. Still the antibiotics were at home ready to take, and I've already been to the doctors to get a supply ready for next time (and sadly I know there will be a next time).

So training is off. But actually this is the "up"! Things have felt unrelentingly busy recently (although not as busy as my friend Simon) and having no choice but to put my feet up and do nothing (even walking around the flat brings the breathing on believe it or not) is actually lovely. So right now I'm hoping I will miss in total 4 days training, and that by Monday the antibiotics will have done enough to let me do body balance followed on Tuesday by some light spinning.

But if I'm not ready by then I won't cry about it. I want to be training but if I'm forced to rest then I will enjoy it! Books and Sky+ at the ready...
