Both developed colds a couple of days after our visit to the Phoenix Children's Museum (and yes, we did disinfect and wash our hands after we visited). A couple of days after that, I am hacking up gunk from my chest and coughing. I am on day 5 of feeling like crap. My 12 week training cycle starts one week from today luckily, so until then, I am taking Guaifenesin 400 mg, Dextromethmorphan 20 mg and/or phenylephrine 10 mg every 4 hours. Then at night, I take the offbrand equivalent of NyQuil. In my experience, since my boys were born, this stuff lasts 5-7 days. If you rush into training before that time is up, you'll extend the illness possibly another week. I try to just be patient, read, rest and say no to exercise for the entire 5-7 days. I like the "executive workout" above.Brandon Nichols, RD, CSSD, USAT Level I Coachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13565047173621750015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1492959360683081742.post-61386085717458048942010-03-01T06:26:27.615-08:002010-03-01T06:26:27.615-08:00Wow...is that how I looked?!?

I amp up on the vitamin C, sleep more, and get outside as much as I can, even if it is just for an easy run or walk. I find if I wallow in my own crappy feelingness I feel worse. Plus, I am a terrible sit-stiller.Caratunk Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00042653100322091843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1492959360683081742.post-45343290877267761082010-02-28T15:47:14.768-08:002010-02-28T15:47:14.768-08:00Hi Troy!

I am two months out of surgery now and about to get on the road this week. Was released by my surgeon at long last! <br /><br />Really I love to hate your videos and I often curse and talk back to you... just when I am about to die from fatigue ...when you make us stand or make us suffer oh so much more! You are mentioned a lot on my blog!<br /><br />Thanks for pushing me to get better!<br />Cece<br />www.cece-steppingbeyond.blogspot.comCecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09515896618221488462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1492959360683081742.post-23878924330233804712010-02-28T12:04:59.822-08:002010-02-28T12:04:59.822-08:00I didn't have the flu, but I did have a cold a...I didn't have the flu, but I did have a cold and congestion this week. I discovered a great solution...I call it the "executive workout." A friend of mine and I were both ailing, so we met at the gym, whirlpooled for 10 minutes, suana-ed for 10, steam room for 10, back to the sauna for 10, and finished back at the whirlpool. Since then I have still been clearing some stuff out, but have felt AWESOME; Tuesday i could barely keep my eyes open...Wednesday I was ready to rock and roll. The Native Americans and their sweat lodges had the right idea!T-BiLLyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489405233942294371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1492959360683081742.post-86911127906059721722010-02-28T11:27:04.343-08:002010-02-28T11:27:04.343-08:00I'm just getting over some chest congestion my...I'm just getting over some chest congestion myself. I couldn't do anything all week. Ironically, my last work out was Spinervals 2.0 Time Trial Special on VHS believe it or not. Today I was finally able to get out and ride for about an hour or so. It felt good to be out. I just took it easy like you recommend in your blog post. I've got a swim workout planned for tomorrow morning. Just going to rest today and see how I feel.

Your videos are great and it was nice to get back on the bike (even if I am weak and out of shape).It's going to be a long journey back but I am dedicated to getting back on the racing circuit. <br />When sick, it's better to rest especially if you have a fever. Easy said than done though. Get well soon. <br />-Cristin Van DrielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
