Last Week

First, let me tell you about my new fitness 'toy'.

The Kinect for XBox 360, and the EA Sports Active 2 game.

Its been both fun and a good way to work up a good sweat!

The workouts definitely get your heart rate going, but also focus nicely on strength and toning.

So, what did last week look like?

Sunday: XA (XBox Active) workout.

Monday: 15 min of core, and 30 min of yoga.

Tuesday: 20 min walk, and XA workout.

Wednesday: about a 60 min walk with a friend!

Thursday: 3.8 mile walk in 52 min.

And then the cold hit. And I am not talking about the weather. I've got a good old fashioned head cold going on. Friday night I was dead to the world. Saturday morning I still felt like a semi rolled over my head. The afternoon I felt a little better, and we headed out to do some errands. Then I gathered up just enough energy to clean part of the house.

A great start to the week, but not such a good ending.

This week got started with about a 45 min casual walk with the family yesterday.

And how delightful it was.

With the 5K this Friday, I ask you: How do you shake off a cold? And what would you suggest for managing this cold and still performing well in Friday's race?
