Friday after workout I felt horrible. As I wrote on that day, I wanted to sleep for hours, but day wore on, I started to feel congested in my head and sneezing uncontrollably. By Friday evening, I was so stuffed up that the only way I was going to sleep was to take some cold medicine. It did the trick.
It's a good thing Saturday was my day off. I slept a lot that day, going out briefly to teach swimming lessons. By Sunday morning my stuffy nose was pretty much gone, but I still felt icky. Today's workout was supposed to keep my heart rate down and keep me in shape for the meet next weekend. The last 400 free was a little too hard. I went a 4:43, and my heart rate was about 170, a little too high for that speed.
Having a cold is a minor inconvenience this weekend. I could feel much sicker, and I'm glad that this cold is likely to go away by the time I get on the plane to Austin. Tomorrow is my usual day off, and I'll use it to continue to get better. More cold medicine tonight!
