My first two are teenagers now, I never got sick through them that I knew of when they were in their early years.
I did a test at the start and it was negative but heeding your words did another this afternoon - also negative 
Our house is in the sick house again (including me) as of yesterday which would be 20 days since my last post. Lol….
Training as a parent is sometimes just a big joke. I’m deleting my whole plan for now and just using TrainNow for a while.
I feel you. We all did remarkably well this fall and winter after a horrendous 2021/2022 holiday season. This year I lifted weights and did TrainNow, waiting for the succession of illnesses that never hit, only a mild flu for my wife around Christmas. I signed up for a summer race in late February, loaded up a plan in early March when the weather started getting warmer, thinking we were out of respiratory virus season and I could maybe string some fitness together… and haven’t been healthy since.
Lol… yeah. So frustrating
Well. We made it a month. Back in the sick house again. I was patient #1 this time for a change. Ugh.
Made it a month without getting sick! I’m a couple days in on antibiotics for mild pneumonia, hopefully back on the bike in a few more days?
Anyone else seeing this nasty cold going around? Very sharp, sore throat the first few days, then it settles deep into the chest and doesn’t leave. I know two other parents locally who ended it up with pneumonia from it, too.
Confirm that it’s in the Seattle area. That’s exactly what hit me. After a week, I’m in the long tail of tired body and clearing phlegm.
I didn’t get the sore throat but developed chest congestion that turned into a cough. Cough isn’t too bad but it’s persisted for about a week now. Kind of dry hacking cough. No nose congestion though. Kind of a strange cold for me since I usually get nasal congestion and fatigue etc. Negative for COVID. I don’t think it’s turned into pneumonia but I’ve been resting as much as possible and trying to let myself heal. Ready to be done with this crud and get back to normal.
Sister in law arrived unexpectedly for the weekend. More unexpected was that she fell ill immediately. Now my throat is starting to feel unusually dry…5 weeks to race day 
. Sneezed after posting that…!
Sick!
I can either annotate my week as sick and let TR adapt or swap next weeks recovery week in. I would normally just annotate and rest but getting nervous about race day. I need them long ride and runs right now.
So, my last half year ( i have a kindergarten kid and a day-care kid or whatever you call it)
The little one is constantly sick, and since november:
1 week sick november
3 days + 3 days december
january and february okay
march 5 day sick
april 2 x 2 days sick with stomach, followed by 1 week of a cold
Now, i am sick again, my A event is in one week. this is brutal, its like my whole system is takin all in
Sick enough to want to post and complain about it! I had an ill-timed two day work trip to the east coast from Colorado last week, getting in super late Tuesday night and getting a whole four hours of sleep, and then on Thursday night I only got three hours of sleep as I had a 6am flight with two connections to get back home. I felt like I was getting sick (dry mouth, sore gums, sneezing) but made it through my A event on Saturday (50 miles, 5800 ft of climbing over two 10k-ft mountain passes) without major struggle (yay for the hay being in the barn).
The next day my entire body totally shut down into a coughing / sneezing / sore throat mess. Tested negative for COVID but feels like that nasty cold described above, and actually feels worse than when I got COVID in February. I’m glad I’m going into recovery time with no real plans but holy moly do I feel frail and weak right now and I hate it.
Gastroenitis or whatever it’s called. Stomach flu. Absolutely one of the worst weeks I have had last week. Absolutely wrecked me. Did a commute this morning and felt like I was cycling through sand. Hopefully it’ll rebuild quickly enough
It’s so hard. My HR takes weeks to recover from gastro stuff. It’s usually from the dehydration/loss in blood plasma when you excrete it from whichever end it decides to torture you with. It will come back - but will take a few days/weeks to rebound depending on how bad the illness was.
Timely thread.
Went on vacation for a week, so no riding. Came back and did a couple of outdoor rides last Friday and Saturday. On Sunday morning, I had the dreaded feeling in the back of my throat indicating I was getting sick. Ended up being a mild common cold and I’m recovering, but it’s another week off the bike. Fortunately I’m due to start a new plan so I’ll take the FTP adjustment as needed.
Not sure where I got it from, but on my Saturday ride there was not one but two riders who blew snot rockets in front of me. Probably wasn’t them but I’ll never let it go.
here’s a weird one… five days ago I was riding and felt a sting in my quad. Looked down and saw nothing. Figured it was a bee sting. Finished the ride, jumped in the pool, and saw what looked like a small puncture but no stinger. Woke up the next morning and had a red circle about 2" diameter.
By Friday evening, 24 hours after the sting, my quad had a huge deep red circle and it was spreading fast. Asked my wife and daughter “can I get a ruling on this” and they sent me straight to Urgent Care. Prescribed Keflex / Cefalexin and by Saturday morning my left quad looked terrible and it felt like somebody had hit my leg with a bat. Probably covered about 1/3 to 1/2 of my left quad. Yikes.
Sunday was the worst. Monday on the road to recovery. Its Tuesday, looking like Friday night at urgent care but yellow and light red instead of crazy dark red.
Anybody ever had cellulitis from a bug bite or cut?
I‘m sick since last week Friday with a flue and of the bike since that. Tomorrow is my A event so I did a short ride but just had to admit that there is no point: my legs a shaky and when I tried to put any power on the pedal I just started coughing and could not stop. I had trouble breathing as well. I am a little disappointed and not sure how to get my motivation back.
I am still looking forward to other events in the fall.
Just came back home after visiting family (solo) for almost a week. My partner was calling me daily asking me to come back to help with our kids and take the load off while her mom was visiting. The day that I’m driving back home for 8 hours I get the message that she and my son both have Covid. Total bummer - my son is still energetic and feeling good, but she is a bit lethargic with body and headaches.
So far I haven’t gotten it. I’m wearing a mask but it’s just a matter of time unless I some how dodge a bullet. My A event is three weekends away…lol…just gotta keep fingers crossed. What are you gonna do? 
I developed a (small) umbilical hernia on Sunday… Doc said no working out for a little while, not that I feel like I should/could anyway. I’m waiting to get scans…
It sucks because the last two races of my season were last Tuesday and next Tuesday.
In the meantime, I’m working on gathering tools/equipment to replace the spokes on my rear wheel. Figure if it requires surgery, I’ll need something to pass time.
