Getting over the flu

I learned a great lesson this month...the body is not made of bricks! Certainly not mine, anyway. I thought I was doing just fine until I got hit with fatigue and exhaustion...3 to 5 miles most days was no joke. Then the flu crept in. All but one succumbed to the flu in our home. It took me over two weeks to get over mine. I'm actually still in the midst of getting over the lingering cough, sore throat, and hoarse voice. I'd like to remind myself and everyone to get plenty of rest. Take it easy, and be gentle with your bodies. It's the only one we've got.

Also, a reminder of how not so quickly we stop being contagious with the flu...
