I am so annoyed with the frequency of viruses this winter. I'm trying to get myself ready for my first 10K swim this summer and building a nice base but I just keep getting hit with what feels like every virus known to man. I know it's not overtraining it's just simply that I've got a kindergartener, I've been volunteering with all those boogers once every two weeks, and I have been needing to visit the pedi with an older child for a chronic condition. So, the whole family keeps catching new and "fun" things.
I'm trying to keep my spirits up about adapting and missing training but it's tough when I have to miss so many days and then have so many easy days on top of it while my body fully heals. I'd be just rolling with the punches if I didn't have such a large goal lined up for this summer. I really am keeping my spirits up because I don't need added stress or worrying or getting nervous. But I know I must not be the only one in the middle of winter sickie blues and others might like to join the pity party.

I'm in the party. We care for our grandkids one day a week. Last year(fall of 2015-Spring 2016) was our grand daughter's first year in pre-school and I had one virus after another the whole time. This fall I was doing fine even though my grandson started at the same school/petri dish.Early December I got a bad cold, but it was after SCM season and I wasn't too upset. Come January and I'm ready to get started and the pools are closed due to the snow. That finally cleared and I was just starting to feel progress when I got the aforementioned "doozy", which I still have. I'm not going to SCY Nats since our third grandchild is due that weekend,so I may cut back my goals for training this cycle.
