I had <a class="reference external" href="https://sgillies.net/2018/02/03/the-flu.html">the flu</a>. I've had bronchitis. Today
I have come down with a cold, the day I intended to make up the long run
I missed while skiing on Sunday. I've lost a week and a half of training
already this month and am going to spend the next two weekends in airports and
planes. I'm starting to revise my expectations for the Quad Rock from "kicking
ass" to "finishing" and am looking for any silver linings at all. My left
hamstring, which I strained at the end of January, is feeling nicely rested, so
there's that.</p>The fluhttps://sgillies.net/2018/02/03/the-flu.html2018-02-03T09:43:24-07:002018-02-03T09:43:24-07:00Sean Gillies<p>I appear to have the flu. I had chills and a cough on Wednesday night and
a fairly miserable trip home from the Mapbox all-hands event. I took Friday off
to rest and began to feel better in the evening. I slept well last night and
was beginning to make plans to get some exercise so I don't fall too far behind
in my training, but my temperature is back up to 39 °C (102 °F) this morning.
Instead I think I'll drink cold water and watch Stranger Things, maybe get out
for a short run or walk if I feel better in the afternoon. Ugh.</p>
