Sick Days

I tell my body to work harder, lift heavier, run faster. Sleep. Eat. Drag that freezing butt to the pool and get in. I tell it to get on the bike and ride for three hours or more without complaining. How dare it tell me no! How can I be sick? Ha! All too often, we don't think about our true well being until illness forces us to. Day two of sitting on the sofa, ordering spicy food so I get at least 20 minutes to breathe clearly...it's giving me plenty of time to think about it now.
