Waahhhh!!!!! I'm sick!!! Can't ride! :(

So, no sooner did I bust out one of my best rides ever, with my fastest speed ever, than I came down with a bad cold that very night. :( Wahhhh!!!!! And now my cycling buddy went riding without me today and got even more miles ahead of me on our club's stat page on bikejournal.com. ;) We are very competitive about moving our names up the list as high as possible, and we are usually only a mile or two away from each other. She's now over 50 miles ahead after sneaking in a ride on Easter with her husband and now today. Not that I can blame her for riding without me when I'm sick .... but I can still lie here feeling all sorry for myself and go WAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Jiffer, are you sure it's a cold
The reason why.
since i moved out here, I would a long and hard ride on Saturday. Then I woke for Sunday it felt like some one had shoved a cinder block up my nose:( this usually lasted til Wednesday.
I Finally "cured" it by literately drowning myself re-hydrating on Saturday.(we do live in the desert , ya know;) ), and getting real early start so I'm back in noon ( I think our constant wind had some thing to do with ). I also threw out my bedding and replaced with new. That's part of why I ride my bike to church instead of putting on my "Sunday best"/
Either way {{{{Jiffer}}}
ps. get ahead on bikejournal, I thought that was "unpossible" . But then again, I usually check it only once a month.

We had a heckuva bad tree pollen week last week here in the PNW. I know the change in seasons in So Cal can be subtle, but could you be reacting to something in the air? If you had a big ride the day before, you might have increased your exposure to allergens.

Hope you feel better soon-

I'm so happy since I started riding for quality rather than quantity. I'm so much more appreciative of the times that I can ride and more patient with the time when I need to heal.

Old age. It's a wunderful thang.

Just wait til some doctor tells you you can't ride for at least 6 months because of a serious health issue. I hope it never happens to you, but it sure gives you some perspective.

I remember during the whole pulmonary emboli thing I actually had to stop looking at TE because I got depressed because I still had 4 months left before they'd even consider thinking about letting me ride. It got grim. and then when I tried spin classes, I got chest pains. That was a low point.

Hey, I found out today my double vision should be gone in about a month! http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...esssmileyf.gif
