The Streak Endeth

And so it has come to an end... my workout streak dating back to Dec 17th, 2007. That was the last day, till today, in which I did not do a swim, bike or run session (or any combination thereof).

I made the decision to not hop on my trainer after I felt the beginnings of an upper respiratory infection. For me URI, historically, lasts for weeks on end. It's a painful ordeal and at this point I'd rather not put any more stress on my immune system than necessary and hope against all hope that what I have is just a sore throat.

How life has not intervened to end this streak earlier is beyond me. I grinded through Christmas, New Years, a foot injury, ski trips but alas, it the fear of a URI has stopped me dead in my tracks.

February 5th, 2008- a date which will live in infamy.
