I've never had much of an immune system, even when I was younger. Couple that with a son that attends a public elementary school and a wife that works at a different elementary school, and I catch every little bug that goes around.
Yea, I missed 4 days of riding, plus today's group ride, so I would have had a record mileage month in
November if I could have gotten my miles in this week. But, I can spend the day on the trainer, working on my bikes, working on my car, doing housework, cooking dinner, doing house repairs......man, riding sure sounds better.
My wife worked at a school for 5 years. We had every illness that went through the school, including the old H1N1 from a couple of years ago (try coaching a soccer team where you have two starters out every game for five weeks during the epidemic). But those were the good old days. She works at a hospital now....
