Mother Nature is in a mood...

...and not a good one.

We had the February 1st snowstorm followed by flesh-rending cold that shut me down, exercise-wise, for a week. Then we had the same sceanario February 9th. Now, today, the weather is beautiful and what am I doing?

Sitting in the house with a stuffy nose, running eyes, low grade fever (99.1, thank you) and a cough that sounds like a dog barking.

I made it all winter long without getting seriously ill and now, when I could be out running, I'm stuck because just walking is hard.

Whatever.

I'm so disgusted, I could scream. Except that would make me cough some more.

Ugh.

The plan this week is to get well. As soon as I feel reasonable good, I'll walk for 7 days. Then I'm starting to run. 30 seconds followed by 2 minutes of walking.

Maybe I'll get to start running March 1st (a full MONTH after I planned to be running).

As for the star plan, that went directly down the tubes. Maybe I'll start that once I can run again.

In my defence, I did lose another pound.

Calorie breakdown last week was:
Average daily calories: 2102
Carbs: 47% of total
Fat: 32% of total
Protein: 18% of total
Alcohol: 3% of total

Here's to the return of good health.
