When to ride when your sick?

I've been battling a cold here too. My lungs reduced composity from the upper respiratory bug I've got is making it difficult to function at work and have the energy to make I through the day, so even a quick jaunt around the 'hood is farthest from my mind at the moment, even tho the sun is beckoning and I'd love to be outside instead.

Take care of yourself and get well.

I got a nasty bug a few weeks ago. It started with a slight sore throat, so I rode to work (4.5 miles) and felt really bad, so I rode home. I took off 5 days and did just fine but I sure didn't feel like riding while i was sick.

I think this is the bug I've been recovering from. Actually, it hasn't been so bad...started with a sore throat and had me totally down for only about 2 days. I'm still coughing and snorking, but it's also peak pollen time, so that's definitely a factor.

Days off when sick generally means faster recovery. Faster recovery means LESS time off, in the end.

For me, if it's below the neck I don't even think about working out. If it's above then I just go by how I feel. If I'm feeling weak or have a fever, then I definitely just rest.

Being sick is a drag. I hope you feel better soon.
