Indeed!! I picked up the cold I think everyone around me had immediately after Christmas. Was sick thru New Year's but continued to run, ride, lift......eventually sent myself thru a relapse as I *thought* I was getting better. I'm still not 100% but close.
The way I got there was COMPLETELY staying off my feet last weekend. Went home from work Friday, threw on the sweats & pretty much stayed on the couch all weekend except for a shower on Sunday. Sunday night I could feel things turn.
Being sick SUCKS!
