Lurgy

Grrr, I’ve got the lurgy – Sore throat, headaches, bunged up nose and all over body aches – and I blame Pat as I think she brought it with her from the Isle of Man!

I was looking forward to an open water swim, an easy run and a night ride on my mountain bike yesterday, but instead I spent the day on the sofa reading magazines on my iPad. I’ve learnt my lesson the hard way not to exercise when ill and it’s probably a blessing in disguise anyway because my left knee has been sore since windsurfing and circuits on Tuesday and I’m supposed to be having a ‘rest and recovery’ month where I take it easy anyway.

Now, anyone who knows me will know that words and phrases such as ‘taking it easy’, ‘rest’ and ‘recovery’ don’t really sit that well with me as I like to be doing things, so maybe a few days of forced ‘easyness’ due to being ill will be a good thing.

Now, where’s my honey, lemon and paracetamol?
