This cold is hanging on. I shouldn't work out for a few days and will probably take until Wednesday off. I haven't napped today but did sleep in until 9 AM, which for me is really rare. I hope none of you are sick and have great workouts this week.
Check out the challenges at John Stone Fitness-since I'm sick I need help with the 1,000,000 push-up and 1,000 tire flip challenges! www,johnstonefitness.com

Definitely Sick, so Workout of the Day was a walk
The cold, flu or sinus infection I felt coming on yesterday showed up in full force today. I slept restlessly most of last night, this morning and even napped this afternoon. I think I got 12 hours or so of sleep in 2-4 hour blocks. I don't have my FitBit with me so that is just an estimate.
I'm on the road traveling and my teammate has the rental car. So this afternoon I walked to the Wal-Mart for different drugs (night-time vs. regular) and the Starbucks. The walk was about 3 miles round-trip and much needed. I'll likely walk around some more tomorrow too.
I have some body aches and sure don't want to contaminate the whole base gym Monday, so I probably will take a few more days off. Disappointing, but much better to think of others and also get well so I can continue increasing poundages per the Stronglift 5x5 plan.

Workout of the Day, or Daily Workout 6 Feb 2015
Yesterday I was really sore through my hips and legs. Like really sore. So I should have known something wasn't right. My throat started hurting right before bed and sure enough, the hip soreness was my usual pre-illness lymph node activation. These are my body's main "dumps"-some folks it's the ones in their neck, some in their armpits but for me it's those. Yes the squats and deadlifts are getting heavier but the soreness was the lymph nodes as I AM SICK.
So today was a rest day anyway, but now it's a serious rest weekend. Got some OTC medicine and have already napped. More stretching and foam rolling this weekend and lots of sleep.
So here's the workout:
Nap
Sleep
No exertion
Stretch
Water
Probably be the plan until Monday, but I'll update the blog as I go.
