Riding while sick?

[amb]

I was feeling a little under the weather yesterday but it was awesome out - 70 deg, sunny, low winds. I did a 30 mi ride with my co-workers and today I am regretting it. I feel worse. I think all the wind on my throat and sinus' was not helpful. It could be just coincidence too but I might think twice next time I feel a cold coming on. It was a great ride but I wish I could be home in bed now.

Well I went to the doctor today and he thinks I have mono. So that's kind of uncool, but hopefully I will be better in a few days and prove him wrong. In the meantime, I've been waaaaay to sick to even make food for myself, let alone get on a bike. I had to excuse myself from surgery today because I thought I was going to puke into the surgical site.

Just hoping I'm better by graduation on Thursday.

Oh gosh, westtexas, do take good care of yourself. Mono can take a long time to recover from. The bike will be there when you're ready, but be gentle with yourself until then. So sorry!

Just about to post when I noticed you had posted saying you had mono?

Didn't have a clue so I had to Google it, mononucleosis, think you must take very good care of yourself.

I have learnt over the years riding if unwell, is not a good idea, for starters my concentration is zilch.

So understand how frustrating it is, I'd generally go out for a walk, that way I can go at the pace that is not going to make me worse.

Get well soon westtexas.
