not sick

Bleah. I've been feeling a bit off for the last few days -- I wake up with an irritated throat and I've been having the occasional sinus headache and not a lot of energy. I don't think I'm actually coming down with anything though. One coworker suggested it might be due to the high levels of pollution we've been having and I wouldn't be surprised if he's right. I've been a little short on sleep, too, or at least I was Sunday night and I haven't quite caught up. I did go to the gym a little later today and just did a short maintencance workout, so I'm not nearly as logy as I was yesterday, but what I really feel like I need is a don't-get-sick day, where I just rest all day to let my body recover from whatever's bothering it.

The only problem with that is that I'm just barely on track to have done 500 miles by the end of this month, which would be half of my thousand mile goal, halfway through the year, iff* I don't miss any rowing workouts this month. Or, I suppose, if I miss one and do a weekend 10K or half-marathon, but I'd just as soon not. It's hard to justify a sick day off of work if I work out that morning.

*iff: Math term, meaning "if and only of"

PS: I guess the spirit has moved after all. I wrote this while falling asleep last night, but it was better before I forgot half of it and had to reconstruct:

Lips sample skin
Sweet and salt
Smooth and sculpted
In a space of time stolen from sleep.
