I hate being sick

This weekend was a bit frustrating. I picked up another cold, or still haven't gotten rid of the last one, so my training suffered.
Oh, and as for my fast on Friday- I changed the time frame to be from 7pm Thursday to noon on Friday, because by the time noon had rolled around, it was getting pretty ugly. So I ate a HUGE lunch and a snack before bed.
Saturday morning I woke up to the sound of rain and a sinus headache that made me feel like I had been punched in the left cheek (a feeling that still exists even now). I had promised to meet some people for the ride and I had the directions, so I jumped in my car and drove 30 minutes east to Redlands to meet my friends. I secretly hoped no one would show and things looked good as I sat at the coffee shop sipping a latte. But my friends are freaks and don't care about rain, so I got the phone call at 7 from Coach Tony saying "don't leave without us, we're running a little late". In a strange way, I was sort of excited that I would get to ride. Tony and Melinda showed up and off we went. About 1/2 way up one of the big hills, I noticed that Tony was behind me and that is something that never happens when we ride together in the hills. Either I was having a great day or he was still not recovered from having done Ironman Arizona last weekend. It turns out it was the latter. He threw in the towel and he and Melinda headed back. When we talked later he told me his legs just weren't responding and he didn't feel like suffering that much. I had a great ride to the top of the hill and turned around realizing that I would have to finish the ride on my own. That was not likely to happen being that more blood rushing to my head was not helping the sinus pain I was having. So I bagged the rest of the ride and headed back to the car. I still rode a 1 1/2 hour ride that was very tough, so I was somewhat ok with having to cut it short.
Sunday, I took Isabella for a run in the jogging stroller between church and brunch. It served a few purposes. 1st to make my gorge at brunch guilt free. 2nd, I hoped that running would somehow make the pain in my head and face go away (which it did after about 15 minutes). And lastly, we were hoping to get Bella to take a nap before going to brunch. As we got into the stroller, she said "maybe I can take a nap in the stroller". She is a blast to run with, because she talks to me most of the time. She asks all sorts of questions and makes all sorts of observations as we run. We got about 3 miles into run, and blew a tire on the stroller. A piece of glass cut into the tire and tube. So we called mommy out to rescues us and sat on the side of the road talking and throwing rocks until she got there. It stunk that my run was cut short, but the time with her was still very good.
Yesterday afternoon, I met a friend of mine, Megan in a Olive Garden parking lot in Yorba Linda in order to help her out with a bike she was looking at buying. I helped her find it through my triathlon club. It was a great deal on paper and when I saw it in person, it was still a great deal. She basically got a $1500 bike for $500. The guy selling it fell in love with Xterra off-road triathlons and needed the money for a new mountain bike. I am going to help train her to complete an Olympic distance race by the end of summer.
Today is a rest day. Hopefully this cold/ sinus issue will go away before the end of the day.
