Looks like i'm losing the battle



Those lovely little critters to my right are GERMS! And yes, they look nice and likeable, but they're not.

It seems that these bad germs are everywhere! Everyone seemed to be getting sick, especially at work. I imposed an unofficial quarantine on myself and did everything in my power to stay away from these sick people. I fought hard for the past three weeks and it seemed I was victorious.

Until Friday happened.
I woke up with a little itch in my throat and since then it's gotten worse. I'm still fighting, but it's looking more and more like the germs have gotten in. No!!!!!!!!

So it's off to resting and drinking plenty of fluids. According to research I've found online, it's ok to work out at a "moderate" intensity if your symptoms are "above the neck" (i.e. stuffy nose, sore throat, headache). Anything more than that and rest is encouraged. I definitely fall in to that range, but I'm also tired from lack of sleep, so the jury's still out.

Keep up the hand washing folks, it's a germy world out there.
