    A well-executed snot rocket is a work of art, imho. JUST KIDDING! I've never tried to do one. I just sniff and snuff and snort my way through snotty rides.

    Just don't overdo Shew - the bike will still be there and so will the weather. It's better to take some extra time then too push too hard too soon and lose even more in the end!

    (did that just make sense?? I have GOT to stop signing on here when I should be heading off to bed!)

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    I second Xeney's advice. And V's. Listen to your body but, riding, even on a trainer, somehow seems to ramp up your immune system once you're a bit out of the woods or you've turned the corner on the worst of the infection. Getting things to flow is such a relief!

    Oh, I can really empathize. I planned on 2 2-hour rides this weekend. Local viruses had a different opinion. I spent the weekend in bed, dizzy, coughing and piling tissues to the ceiling. It sucks. Plus the weather here was 65-70 and sunny. I am just turning the corner, so its; start out slow. I rode a stationary bike at the gym for 30 minutes. It felt good but I could tell I wasn't really up to speed. My heart rate was racing, yet my legs were just in average effort mode. As above - listen to your body. Good thing I wasn't out on the road. Today I'll try spin. If it works, tomorrow the road. Good luck to you.

    Get well soon!!

    Our best family cure all-Matzo Ball soup and tunafish sandwiches...
    Or chocolate, which fixes anything from a broken fingernail to a broken love affair.
