A slow return

Gradually returning to feeling human again


Today I found I had a bit more energy and I finally managed to get to work. Nothing to go crazy over, but I was able to have a slightly more active day, with a bit of walking etc. Small steps, but at least they are on upward trend so that is always encouraging.

That is the thing with a cold, although you always know that you will get over it, it a relief every time when you finally start to. A nice reassurance that you are getting back to the world as you know it.

When I first got to work I was questioning the wisdom of being there, since I wasn't feeling great, but once the day got going I found I felt better and better. Now I am feeling fairly alright, still coughing, but not too bad other than that.

Given how I am feeling now I think I will plan to get up and jump on the trainer in the morning. Nothing fancy, but just getting on there and getting some movement going. I think my body will be ready for some exercise and it will be a good benchmark to see how it is going to cope with more.

I am certainly glad that I am on the upwards swing with this cold and I am very much looking forward to coming out the other side now and finally being able to get on with training again properly.
