Between the snow shoveling, family, work, and possibly the workouts I've been running out of energy more easily. Several nights per week over the last three weeks I have developed a sore throat for a few hours. Last night I was coughing enough in my sleep that I resorted to NyQuil.
I am enforcing a week off from exercise. I keep hoping that a two or three day break here or there would be adequate, but obviously it isn't. I did week 4 day 1 with 55 pound dumbbells 2/26/10 and week 4 day 2 on 2/27/10. No workouts until 3/6/10.
