Still sick... meh. I have waaaay too much free time on my hands now that I can't workout. I finished watching season 1 of Scrubs, started season 2 of Dexter, and watched Reservoir Dogs on Blu-Ray last night (I couldn't really see too much of an improvement over DVD in that movie).
And I've also been thinking. Yeah, I know... dangerous stuff. I've been thinking that the reason I got sick is because of over-training. I put myself through the wringer on a weekly basis and sometimes my immune system just can't keep up. But right now there's just not too much I can do about it. Ideally I would like to work out about 5 hours per week. That's a really good place to be. You're getting in good workouts, but you have plenty of time to recover. Right now I'm working out about 9-10 hours per week, and that number will probably go up as I continue my half marathon training. So until I finish my race all I can do is hope I don't get sick again. After the race my workouts will probably be back to 5 hours per week.
Amazingly my weight is still holding steady. I say amazingly because the only thing that really helps my sore throat is frozen yogurt and I've eaten buckets of the stuff in the last few days. I also don't count calories at all when I'm sick because I don't want to make my body fight germs and fat at the same time. Other than the FroYo I've still been eating fairly healthy, just a bit more than usual.
Anyway, on the same day that I got sick I also "injured" myself running. I put that in "" because it's not a real injury so much as it's dumb and embarrassing. I'll let you in on a little running secret. Men can run their nipples off. O-F-F. True story. I learned this the hard way... on 3 separate occasions. What happens is that during distance running a guy's shirt (women are immune because of sports bras) move slightly back and forth during each stride. Over a long enough time frame + sweat making the fabric heavier... it has a sandpaper effect on the nippies. The first time I found this out the hard way I was running on a treadmill in a gym... with a white shirt... and had no idea (I was in the ZONE!). People kept looking at me weird and I couldn't figure out why. When I finished my run I got off the treadmill and freaked out. There was a mirror right behind the treadmills and I saw two streams of red running down my shirt and I knew I was bleeding. I didn't know what the hell was going on so I ran to the locker room and took my shirt off. I had basically ran my nipples off. Let's just say taking a shower was not a pleasant experience. I think it was two weeks before they grew back to their former glory. I've since found out there are special products you can use to prevent this, but I've managed to forget every once and a while and do the same thing again... though never as bad as the first time. For the record... it burnnnnnnssssss. So how was that for a fun Friday story? Now get to work! :P

When I was seeing my personal trainer, (and i was thinner) he had me taking at least 1000mg of vitamin C everyday, just because all the lifting and exercise can really run down your body liek you're saying! so, if you're not doing that already, it might be worth a try... I hope you get better!

ouch! must be really painful! nipples are so sensitive!! you can apply vitamin E to accelerate healing, with aloes juice.
I read you have time, so maybe you can help me. i should post this in hell week forum, but I'm here so..
can you tell me how to breath during the burpees? I feel like I don't breath at all until the final jump, and I have to take breaks because of that. when are we supposed to inhale, exhale? thank you for your answer. I do the 1000 tonight...

Hmmm... I haven't really thought about it. Usually I inhale on the 'lowering' parts and exhale during the 'lifting' parts of an exercise. I would say inhale on the way down, exhale when you push your feet out to a push-up position, inhale when you lower for the pushup, exhale when you push off for the pushup, inhale as you bring your feet back under you, and exhale as you jump. That's a lot to remember, but the most important part is JUST BREATHE. As long as you're getting in air you'll be okay. Holding your breath is definitely a bad idea with burpees, you could become dizzy doing that much exercise without breathing.

My goodness, I never would have guess that is possible. That must have been terrifically painful. I wonder if there are fabrics that are less hurtful? You know, when I was a runner in the Jurassic Period, most of my guy friends wore tight shirts when running. Maybe they did this to avoid the chaffing you describe? Have you tried wearing a tighter shirt? I wonder, also, if they have manly breast coverings to help you through that "nipple burn." As for boosting your immunity, all I know is to keep your protein high, take B12 supplements along with Vitamin C, and get plenty of rest. Sleep is the most helpful ingredient to building immunity. I wish you all the best.

actually I can't inhale when I bring my feet after the pushup, this movement of my legs pushes the air out. I follow you for the rest, it makes sense, but I have this trouble with the last part. I'm gonna work on that. breathing properly is half the exercise, and I know (because I'm a damned smocker) I have to find the good rythm if I want to complete set without collapse!!!

Hmmm... then you might bring your feet up, pause to inhale, then jump and exhale.

oh man, I didn't know this could happen to a man! (glad we are immune and thanks for sharring by the way) I must admit this same thing happens when a woman nurses and w/ my first I was so scared and new to it also. Kinda nice to know it CAN happen to men(we're even) lol but only the small population that runs huh? lol I hope you figure things out AFTER you get better. I have also read ppl get sick less when they work out? Maybe you were overdoing it?

Ewwww-makes me go weak in the knees-I've endured chapped nipples when I was running long distances and it ain't pretty. Good to know they "grow" back though--ewww ugh! Bandaids are your friend-or duct tape-like Wendy O'Williams. It's very punk and masochistic :)
I thought working out is supposed to boost your immune system? I have not been sick in two years (touch wood) since I got serious with the workouts. I do take an enormous array of supplements though.
Almost wishing for a sore throat so I can eat all the fro-yo I want. Yum, yum, yum!
Hope you feel better very soon!

It boosts your immune system unless you're doing too much too soon... which I was/am/will probably keep doing.

Oh, and I'm sure all the diabetics in my neighborhood hate me because I buy up all the little round finger stick band-aids at the pharmacy for protection purposes. :)

Time to buy a "Bro" or a "Manssier"! Why can't men have jogging bra type things? Unless you LIKE the idea of ripping duct tape off your nipples. EEEEE! Enjoy your fro-yo - maybe it would make your nipples feel better, too! I don't think I've typed the word nipples so much before. Fun! Nipples, nipples, nipples! hehe

LOL! I can't stop thinking of The Office... when they did the "charity" run and Andy had tape and cotton all over his nipples... But they didn't help... "Ahhh! It's starting!" Lmao. Ah, I love that show... I hope you, and your little nipples, feel better soon.

Your use of "true Story" amuses me more than is reasonable thanks to Barney from How I Met Your Mother. Your journal is now officially narrated by Neil Patrick Harris in my head.
