Buggar! Yesterday, Rick abandoned the swim at about 200 yards, because of a stomach virus.
Nick, Deb’s 16-year old son arrived in Breckenridge to snowboard two days ago, and reported feeling sick. Now I’m sick with a chest cold. Second in so many weeks, and yes I’m sleeping and eating well and not overtraining.
Infectious organisms at work.
Workout: 2-mile meandering wander with the dogs along a trail with lots of lovely smells and pretty flowers.
Then I decided that the only thing to do, even though Marsha won’t approve, was to put on a brisket in my slow cooker and go to bed, which I did. It’ll be ready at 4:00 a.m. Perfect timing.




Its flu season all over it seems. I picked up a stomach virus in Tucson, gave it to Bob , then imported it to Canada, and added a ‘cold’. Enforced rest time. Possibly contributed to by overtraining. Its a fine balance. I hope you feel better soon. ‘What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger’ as my math professor used to note on his exams.
I never did like math exams, but I loved the beauty of math, especially integral calculus for some reason - but it was never easy. Recovering but wonky. Will check out the swim thing, would make a nice mix-it-up. Don’t forget I have Mont-Tremblant in August. - wonkyolddog
Ohhhh, that brisket looks so good. I dare have some meat once in a great while, and that is one of my favorite things. Where’s the sauce though? Truthfully though, my immune system should be studied as, so far, I have not had any URIs since maybe last May. I am usually very sick with sinusitis, bronchitis, requires steroids and antibiotics x3 to get rid of it. I can only credit my plant-strong eating; no other reason for it.
I think I like my steamed spinach even more than meat. Eating some now. Recovering slowly. It’s being doing the rounds apparently. Off for a gentle walk with Sue and Willbe, while Deb sleeps on after he 12-hour shift. The trick is to find what works for us, I guess.
