Now, for starters, let's just say that I'll never be a tri gal, my exercise routines are much lighter.

Okay, I try to walk 2-3 times a week, a mile a day. I go to the gym theoretically 3 times a week, but more like 1 time a week, plus spin class about 2x a week plus bike rides. A nice ride for me is between 20-60 miles, and we do hills. So now you have an idea of my routine.

I got sick last week, a pretty tough bug, maybe the flu. Fever, cough, congestion, inflammation, and it knocked me on my back.

So, this started Wednesday Evening, but by saturday, i started feeling pains deep in my big muscles, just like i used to get from Fibromyalgia many years ago. (I'd been asymptomatic ever since I started my exercise program)

So Sunday, I got on my bike even though I still felt bad, throat tight and sore, nose still going like a fountain... because my legs were starting to ache.

The bike ride made me feel better, and today i walked a mile (and it felt good)
even though i'm still coughing and congested.

IT JUST TOOK 3 days to send me back to my pre-exercise condition????
