Getting Back on Track After the Flu


These past few days, I have been fighting an awful stomach flu.  You know how it goes—weak, shaky, not being able to keep anything down, lots of time in the bathroom.  No fun!  Now that I can stand up straight again, when do I resume my normal workout routine?

Today, I started out very easy.  Instead of running around the track at the local high school, I just walked.  I also did my normal weights routine, but used lighter weights.  I still feel tired and weak, but don’t want to give up a whole week of my training plan—I have two half marathons in the next six weeks! 

How do you get back into your workout routine after being sick?  Do you work out while you are sick?  I could really use your advice on this one!

A dream is a wish…
