Feel better man.
I'm heading to gym after my allergy shots today
Did day 1 of couch 2 5k last week on Monday or so, my shin muscles were toast lol. Having not ran in several years, they had plenty of lactic acid to flush out...
I'm feeling like I never did the run, so after my workout today I'll tackle day 2. Hopefully it wont set me back like day 1 lol
Planning on lifting 5 days this week. May just do 4 (with running) + 1 day of running only. A friend from church asked me to work out with him some to keep him motivated, so will hit another gym Saturday
I want to start swimming so that I can train for a tri. For now just a sprint I think. The cycling part I doubt I'll even do much training for, not a big deal for me. Did a century without riding for about 5 weeks. I paid for it, but thats 100 miles... If I can get the running down, swimming is also pretty easy for me but I def need to get in and log some miles consistently.

quest bars are not real food. they are glorified candy bars.
when I was eating them - (a long time ago) they raised my BS and caused Rh and cravings... Theoretically very good numbers - but they are loaded with carbs. The so caller "fiber" are so heavily processed that they may break down into simple sugars faster in us than in "normal population. But even in "normal population" most good dietitians and docs - will advice diabetic patients to treat any carbs as carbs...no matter if the company that makes the treat calls them 'fiber" or carbs...
when I was eating quest bars - I was gaining weight... when I stop eating them - not only i lost the 7 lbs I gained - but I was less hungry....

I just know how I am. I was not feeling well this past week. I was having some issues with the heat. I pushed myself and I ended up in bed. I could hardly get up.
I hate to feel like that. I wasn't sure if I had a bug. I think now it was I was dehydrated.
I love to walk. I love to be outside. I try to stop in my walk to look around at nature. I saw so many turtles this morning at the lake.
Walking helps me clear my head to.
I am so sorry to hear that you had to withdraw from the triathlon race. I know how hard you worked for it and I understand the disappointment when we have to do that.
Monday- 60 minute swim
Tuesday-60 minute run 30 minute strength training
Wed- 60 master swim
Thursday 45 brisk paced walk
Friday easy run 30 min hilly 15 minutes of strength training
Saturday 120 minute run
Sunday 60 minute easy ride
Thank you for the response. I did a walk/jog this morning and feel pretty good!

Just be careful not to over do it. I know when you exercise a lot it is hard to make ourselves relax and not push ourselves.
I would do basic walking for now till you feel better.
Lyme disease can be really serious. I am sure you already know that.
Hi All-
Well, plans are a funny thing. I was sick last week and diagnosed with Lyme Disease so did not workout. More sadly I had to withdraw from my 2nd Triathalon.
My plan for this week is simple. I am going to SLOWLY begin to exercise. I plan on doing some walking/jogging, swimming, and biking. No specific goal just to do what I can tolerate.
Have a happy and healthy week!
