It's always a battle between trying to stay active enough to feel better versus being so active that you make recovery even tougher, you know? And I am definitely looking forward to doing more boxing workouts in the future. I have a lot more respect now for championship boxers because I had no idea that boxing was so strenuous! They make it look easy on TV. =Demmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-46253531105775094102014-09-04T13:51:49.592-05:002014-09-04T13:51:49.592-05:00Thanks Zenaida!

Hopefully that doesn't strain you too much if you're still recovering. As a boxing person, that feeling of soreness means you've accomplished a lot. I hope you can try it out after you're well.

Started with that tell-tale scratch in the back of my throat last Thursday and quickly devolved into a cough by Sunday (so I, unlike you, was not allowed to run this week. Hooray for accidental SUPER DUPER cutback weeks. Haha.). I get colds usually a couple times per year, and I was just coming off being STRESSED. OUT. due to my move, so it wasn't surprising, but the timing sure was inconvenient. As if there's ever a convenient time to be sick! I do wish colds wouldn't last so long, though. I prefer a cold to the stomach flu because colds, in general, don't make me feel quite as overall miserable/close to death, but the one thing I will give the stomach flu is that it least it's usually completely gone in 48 hours or so, whereas I'm still sniffling over here (but have improved substantially!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
