It had to happen sooner or later

I've been saying for quite some time that "I never get sick".  I spoke too soon.  It either hit me hard, or I'm a total whimp.  Either way, I had a rough two days of little sleep and some throughly annoying nasal and headache symptoms.  I can only hope it attributed to those really unfortunate times this past weekend.

I'm feeling slightly better and decided to hit the pool for a short workout.  The pool was slammed as usual (who wants to swim on a Monday?!).  I decided to try my stretch cords and fins since I only had about 10 yards in a single lane to work with.  I've been focusing on extending the time I can kick or swim all out.  I think it's sort of pathetic, but when I started last week, I could only swim for 10 seconds before slowing down.  Today I got up to 15 seconds.  Trust me, it's harder than it sounds.  I probably only swam 1200 yards but it was enough to take the edge off.  Back in the water tomorrow!
