I still feel lousy today but managed to get up and get dressed. Yesterday in the afternoon I put together my new exercycle, very, very slowly. Tom sat about and helped me, mostly by tightening all the screws and bolts since with tendonitis I don't have the hand strength to do it. He tried it out but I didn't have the energy left after putting it together to actually use it. But this morning I did 10 minutes at the lowest resistance level and still got my heart rate into the target range. I have noticed though that since the cold started my heart rate is about 10 - 15 beats more per minute than it usually is. My plan is to just work out every other day this week at a very low level with the hopes that by next week I will be healthier and can then start pushing it a little. I also called F. this morning but got his answering service :( I really don't like him not having a long distance service. Sigh…
F. called this afternoon. I was very happy to hear his voice even if it was hoarse. We commiserated with each other over our colds. It turns out R. is sick as well. I hope my nest mates don't come down with it too.
