Pneumonia = Pno training...

It feels like I've never trained in my life.... For the past few weeks things have been a blur and I'm back to feeling like I'm at square 1 again.

It started with a couple of conferences - The first one went ok, with me being able to squeeze in some light evening runs. Then the second I had great intentions to hit the on-site gym.. Got up at 6am all fired up only to find it was locked and I had no way of accessing. Crud. Back to bed and watch crap TV until a heavy bacon and eggs breakfast an hour later. That was productive....

Then the day after I return to work feeling some skin sensitivity, which is a little alarm bell for me that things aren't right. Still - I managed to fit in the lunchtime training (focused on pull-ups. Ouch), and on Friday felt manageable as well. Saturday was worse however and by Sunday all thought of training couldn't have been further from my mind.

What followed was a week of misery, or more accurately viral pneumonia. Not a pleasant way to spend a week and I'm still now, a week later, in the process of recovering. While I'm back up and moving I know I still can't get enough air in my lungs to work out properly, and am having to accept that training will have to wait. 

Here's hoping that this will serve as a suitable physical/emotional/mental break so I can come back and hit it hard when it's all ok again.... At least the weather's crap so that doesn't make me feel so bad about it right now :)
