First day back after a stomach virus

Tuesday, I was hit with a nasty stomach virus. It was pretty gross and graphic, and it left me with fever and chills all day Tuesday. After sleeping for 12 hours that night, I felt better on Wednesday but not 100%. I still made it to Jazzercise that morning and did low impact but I was clammy and weak. I made it through though. 

Today, I feel MUCH better. Still can't keep a whole lot in my stomach, but pressing on!!  So, I took advantage of my childfree morning, and I went to my favorite park. I walked one mile, and I was ready!  I jogged the second mile, and I was able to jog the entire mile. Very exciting. 
But then I got really hot and really tired really fast. I don't know if it's my body still recovering or the weather (the sun was beaming), but I was hot.  I walked one more mile and literally went to my car to drink my entire bottle of water at once. 

So, it was a little disappointing BUT baby steps. It will get better. I need to stick to the early morning training when it's a tad cooler. Summer training in the south is gonna SUUUUUUCK. But all I kept thinking is New York will NEVER feel muggy hot like this.  

P.S.  Plus side to a stomach virus is some instant weight loss. Woot!

    To have pushed through the last of the virus, the heat and achieved is the baby steps that will turn into strides. Keep it up and drink lots of H20!!!! AHB xo
