I'm Tri'ing

This week did not go as planned, it started out great with spin class on Monday and then when down here from there.  I thought I had a caught the summer cold that everyone has had and started my routine of drugs that typically have me back on track in 3-4 days.  To my surprise this morning I was still feeling bad and this has me wondering if it's a summer cold or allergies.....so I changed up my drug routine to try some allergy medicine to see if that works and I will plan to do today's missed workout of run / swim tomorrow.
