Yesterday I felt pretty tired. I chalked it up to getting to sleep a little later and having a packed work day that didn’t end until around 9 PM. This morning I woke up feeling a bit worse.

First thing I noticed was how heavy my body felt. Then I noticed the runny nose. That sensation was followed by feeling a pressure in my sinuses.

After getting up, drinking a cup of coffee, and taking a shower — things that normally take care of the sinus stuff, I wasn’t feeling any better. I don’t think I have a fever, but I do have a head ache and still feel heavy. Here is hoping its just allergies.

There is something going around. Quite a few students are out sick at the University. Two of my children were home sick a week ago, but was thinking I escaped that. I’m hoping it hasn’t caught up to me.

Now is not a good time for me to get sick. Saturday is the first race of the season. I was just starting to feel like I might be able to hang in there and get a finish. The motivation and belief was returning.

Best case scenario is that I just ate too much sugar yesterday. Second best scenario is that this is just allergies and my medicine will get me going again. Third scenario is that I have cold and I’ll be able to ride through it. Worse case is that I get the flu thing that is going around and end up being a big baby with a compress on my head.

What do you do when you feel something coming on?
