Out for the Count

I got sick on Sunday after returning from Cancun and over a week later I’m still not past whatever it was. I think RSV or influenza B. I think the last time I was sick for so long was after the Tough Mudder, when I got some nasty shit.

Today is the first time since last Saturday that I attempted to workout. In order to ease back in, I kept it simple.
