I have been sick the past few days, and it's really pissing me off. I mean, I really have a bad attitude about it. Thing is, I KNOW, that's not the way to heal. Rest, positive attitude, good food, that's the way to heal. Not me, I've been grumbling, eating nachos for dinner and tossing and turning through the night.
I hate to get sick. And this is not your oridnary sickness -- this is one of those dental/bacterial things, which means there's pain involved. That makes me even angrier. I've been trying to let go of this anger. I even read Bach's Illusions, which is a lovely, lighthearted book with lots of good advice that I have not employed once.
So what is my problem? I'm just a baby, that's my problem, and it seems that my attitude is somehow tied to sweat. If I don't sweat, I have this irrational fear that I'm rapidly growing physically weaker. And it's only been two days.
On the good side, I have kept up the hip exercises and the planks. Not going to do much good fighting those nacho dinners. But perhaps I will not lose strength. (I am toying with the idea of sneaking in a run today, or at least faking that I am much, much better, and perhaps I will be better, and that this whole sickness thing is really more attitude than anything else).
I shall leave you with this video clip that I found on Runnerdude's blog. It's a good one for plank instruction. You can find lots more on youtube.com
