Out sick -- a May week [backpost]

It seems I wasn't just tired, I was getting sick. Took my two days off doing grading, etc., and Wed. was solidly busy with a trip to Harvard-Yenching, but by day's end I felt lousy (head/throat). Woke up Thu. feeling lousy all over; spent the day mainly in bed.

Fri. felt marginally better, but all energy focussed on work chores then a four hour drive to and from RPI.
Sat. managed to recover a bit, enough to go out with le garçon down to the bridge beside the rail trail. Pretty buggy, muggy evening, but good to exercise a bit; ten miles in all, about 40/60 trail and road. Throat worse, if anything, but still no bad cough.

Sun. early start (lectoring) and then work, with no energy left for a run. Throat no worse, and cough still absent. But, there went a whole week. The best laid plans. . .

I've got most of my energy back and my throat isn't trying to choke me any more. I missed the Northfield Mountain trail race, alas, and probably won't be up for next weekend's race either, but better to recover properly, I guess.
