Say it isn't so
I'm officially sick. The week was a busy one with less than ideal sleep (went to bed after 11:00 p.m. a few nights and woke up at 6). Yesterday was pretty busy too with yoga, a work event and bike commuting around town. I managed to rack up 20 miles by bike on Saturday!
I was on track to run 20+ miles this week, until I woke up this morning with a scratchy sore throat. Womp, womp. I've learned that I never out run a sinus infection (my body's illness of choice), so I gave in and opted to walk Jonah Bell 45 minutes this morning in the sun and did a short 25 min yoga flow on Yogaglo.
Then, after showering and writing my grocery list, I left my house key at home while Pete was off mountain biking with the guys. Fail #2. So, I had to kill an extra hour or so while grocery shopping before I could get back into the house.
Now, I'm trying to do my chemistry homework and study for my anatomy test with a foggy, tired brain and body.
On a better note, tonight's dinner menu includes local Gorgonzola stuffed burgers (pre-made from Market of Choice) grilled on the Griddler with a side of baked sweet potato fries. Maybe that will cure this sickness? If nothing else, it will taste good.
Super Bowl related: Did anyone else think that was one of the better half time shows we've seen? Red Hot Chili Peppers were a little freaky, but Bruno Mars hit a home run in my books with an entertaining show, no nudity and no lip syncing.
Workout wise: As usual, I'm loving Gina's weekly workouts for her winter shape up. Last week, I did her new tabata/strength workout on Wednesday and Friday and could definitely feel the effects a day or so later (AKA sore buns). ;) Even if your current workout routine works for you, it's always fun to spice it up once in a while.
What's your favorite meal when you're sick? Sometimes I opt for extra spicy thai food in an effort to kill the infection. And almost always, I buy a kombucha. This likely has no merit, but it seems like a good idea.

Thanks for the link to Fitnessista's workout, I totally forgot about her and I'm looking for as much at-home workout inspiration as possible now that my shreds are over!
When I am sick I crave things like vegetable soup. Or other comfort food like macaroni noodles with ketchup on them (weird I know, but it's something I grew up eating).
