Sunday thru Wed. Cardio

I took Sunday off
Monday cardio=60 mins
Tuesday cardio=80 mins
today Wednesday cardio=90 mins
but now I feel like crap
I woke up with a sore throat and that feeling of having mucus clinging to the back of your throat
and it hasn't gone away all morning.
fun
just freaking fun!
and I have a ton of stuff to do this week!
somebody pray for me!

day off

ok, I took Thursday as a planned rest day
I wanted to hit either back or legs today but I woke up with a really bad headache and completely stuffed up and congested.
Yesterday I was feeling run down too but had to stay up later than usual to iron the new dyed garments I'd made.
not a happy camper right now as I sit here at work I feel fine and wish I could have worked out this morning.
oh well hopefully next week will go better.
I will prayerfully start with back/traps tomorrow and then go to the CAL football game.
the next few days
chest/triceps sunday,monday off,tuesday cardio,wednesday delts/biceps,thursday cardio,friday back/traps,saturday chest/tri's and sunday legs(quads)/calves.
I hate a break in my schedule due to illness.
blah!
at least its friday!
GO BEARS!
