Feels so good, feelin' good again

I don't know where this quote is taken from but I really like it- "I'm thankful for the rainy days, they only make the sunshine sweeter..." The pastweek or so i've been really sick. So sick that earlier this week I thought I was literally going to die! The sinus pressure had gotten so bad that my teeth felt like someone was drilling holes in them! Honestly though, I have no one to blame but myslef for the state I have recently found myself in. A few weeks ago I did a triathlon which incorporated an open water swim in 50 degree water! I didn't take any medicine and I was consistently playing outisde in weather varying daily from 75 degrees to 30 degrees. In fact, the day I finally said, enough is enough- i'm going to the Doctor, I woke up at 4:45am and ran 2 miles to the Y at a 6:30 mile pace, lifted weights for an hour, then ran 8.5 miles back home. Needless to say, I had it coming to me. Today is the first day i've really felt good and been productive at work. The feeling is tremendous! I'm able to train really hard again for my next triathlon and enjoy being outside. For the most part, i'm usually very grateful for the days that shine but I think it was the contrast in days that really made the biggest difference in how I felt.
