10 Days of Hell

Since last weeks Full Moon Mountain Bike Ride I have been out of commission. First I get the flu then this darn Sinusitis that it appears I contacted from someone/thing has really beat me down. I tried to train some (like last weekends ride with Dan and Randy), but my body was having nothing to do with it. The worst part is the migraine type headaches that came with it. After 10 days of hell I finally broke down and went to the doctor yesterday. It is amazing what some Rx, a sinus wash and 12+ hours of sleep will do for you....at least my problems are not as bad as my teammates perirectal absess. Don't worry I will not post a picture of it.....

My brother forwarded me an email from one of our old classmates that lives in South Florida. Joel, who during school didn't even know how to ride a bike, is now an avid cyclist down in Florida. Apparently a car pulled out in front of a small pack of cyclist and several of them went down. Mark Hewitt took the worst of it going through the windshield of the car. I don't know which is more dangerous, riding in Kansas City or Ft. Lauderdale. After thinking back on several near death experiences that I had when I used to train on those crazy Florida roads I vote on Florida :-)

Feel Good, Feel Bad

Feel Good, Feel Bad - it is all in your head.

You could stand here sick with ten illnesses today, and tomorrow have no evidence of any of them. Your body has the ability to replenish itself that fast. But most of you do not have the ability to change your thoughts that fast. So the amount of time that it takes between sickness and wellness is only the amount of time that it takes for me to figure out how to let it in -- for me to figure out how to feel good, when I'm looking at something that makes me feel bad --- Abraham

I came across the above quote when I started getting sick on Friday - Everyone in my office was passing around this "Flu" and one by one were calling in sick - I thought really hard about what it said and if I believed it. Should I just let myself Feel Bad and let my body fight it off? Or should I just Feel Good and let it in?

It is Sunday morning now and I never did get ill enough to call in sick. Maybe "It is all in your Head"....
