Days 31-36: Recovery Week

My recovery week was NOT what the creators of P90X2 had in mind. Nor was it what I had in mind. A head cold had me down for the count and today is the first time being active and eating correctly has even crossed my mind. The rest of the week I was just focused on sleep, water, juices, foods that would scratch my sore throat (mmm salty) and more rest. I really had intentions to do yoga, but being upside down was clearly going to make things worse. I didn’t even get the Recovery & Mobility workout done in full. Did some nice stretching and foam rolling was a welcome relief.

Today was to begin a new week, but after waking up at 3:30 with a coughing fit I didn’t want to be up in another hour. I’ll do some more foam rolling tonight, then get to bed nice and early so I can do Chest, Back, & Balance at 4:30 tomorrow. I’ve got to get back into the routine, and it just might help that cause that I won’t be able to take off Wednesday since I slept in today.

I’m curious if I’ll see any improvements this week. I would guess that I won’t. but, I will be going in well rested and with a happy shoulder, elbow, and wrist. If nothing else, my left arm is thanking me!

Now to stop coughing…
