hormones can overcome sickness

This last year it seems we have just been sick sick sick. At least every other week someone has something. It sure makes exercising difficult. I came down with strep throat Friday last week. Because Becca (sister and "training partner") was in town, I went ahead and ran anyway. Oddly, this was the day I ran 25 minutes and felt like I could go another 25. No, I hadn't received any drugs for my sickness yet (I didn't go to the doctor until Saturday). My theory is that I have more energy depending on my monthly hormones. And I was just ending the week of the flow. I started noticing the energy uptick when I was playing sports and way more in tune to my body. There is, for me, a silver lining to the pain. Plus I do celebrate the fact that my body is working the way it is supposed to during this time. It's a good feeling.
