My Skin Hurts

Chills. Fever. (is that an oxymoron, to have both at once?) Ache all over. Can't breathe too well. Sore throat. Ears are plugged up.

And above all, my skin hurts.

It seems like I always get sick when I go to Seattle. I think it's a combination of being around a sick toddler and all the mold in the damp air there. And maybe all the germs on the airplane. It's frustrating! At least this time I made it home before I got really sick. Last time I was sick during the visit. I like Seattle, but I hate being sick away from home.

I probably should have gotten one of these last month. And last night I went road riding for 1:40 with lights. I was warm enough, I didn't get chilled. I went slower than usual. But I started feeling really sick as soon as I got back. Before that I had just felt really tired. I wonder if exercising in the cold was the breaking point.

Arrrgh. I have so much stuff I need to do this week. And I didn't get to ride or do the eliptical last week - this week isn't looking so good for workouts now either.....
