Business trip this week and I hate that I always get derailed on weeks like these. Hotel gyms are the worst.

Also yes. This is biological warfare. You get everyone else sick and then you have more time to get bigger than them while they take it easy.

Working out with fever is kinda dangerous for me. Cuz all the meds === instant irreversible organ failure.

Back in army tho. No sick days lol.

If it's not like fluvomitron coldsweats ur probably fine to do stuff.

I don't like taking days off n breaking routine.

You're probably fine unless coffing n runny nose for public consumption.

Yeah I couldn't do it today. The chills are uncontrollable. No fever, but good Lord.

Usually working out sick is one of those things... After getting warmed up and getting going, i feel better during the entire duration of the workout.. Nose is clear, everything seems ok.. But then after.. AFTER..... You feel worse x2 haha... Good choice this morning Gilder.

Yeah exactly ^^

Supposedly we retain something like 60% of our ability for a few weeks and retraining is very much easier. Regular exercise is more feel good however.

Well I need coffee for once grindr is going to destroy me. It's like starting into infinity. I have yet to get out of bed Jesus.

Yeah, I've definitely fallen victim to the workout sick, feel great during, worse after. I think you guys were right. Just gonna have to hope I fight it off today and settle for a hotel workout later in the week.

That's the spirit Gilder!

Leg day again. Getting easier and easier. Plus a brisk low effort run with some light intervals. I beat my last time. Recovery is good now.

Also my spandex yoga pants will end up around my knees soon.
