ABOUT A YEAR AGO........

I was so sick I couldn't even move out of bed. Yes, I am celebrating my 1 year anniversary of having caught mononucleosis.

I feel a lot better than at first but I still have moment when I am SOOOOOOOOO tired and don't know why. Like yesterday when I ditched my swim workout and replaced it with a 1h30 nap.... I still did 15K bike ride but had no energy left for the swim. And today, I am putting off my brick workout...

I read online that about 6% of people who have had infectious mononucleosis will relapse... I feel like I'm in contant relapse lol

I watched the Olympics too late last night so when my Dad woke me up at 7:30AM to go running, I said no thanks!! Instead he had a canine companion! He decided he doesn't want to do the race tonight, it is suppose to rain and he told me he wants to get a medal for his first race. Both are good reasons so I'm looking for another event.

How time flies when you're having fun and training like a mad woman. A nap doesn't seem equal to a swim workout, but you're the coach! Ha, listen to your body.

It's been 1 year already? Wow!

LMAO I blame the tiredness on the Olympics. Seriously I've been way tired ever since they started. I don't know why i don't just DVR the night ones LOL

I had mono in high school and I know what you mean. I was tired off and on for years after that...for reals. I hope you feel all the way better soon, I don't think it's in your head!

I'm with you....those olympics are wiping me out!

I went to bed last night, and my husband said "Stay up this is exciting." THEY'RE all exciting, and I still have to train in the morning!

Sounds likes your body is still in recovery mode. Take a breather and enjoy the Olympics!
