It's been wonderful. But I'd almost bet a goat vindaloo dosa
that March will make up for it.

Like they say: "March showers, April showers bring forth
May showers."

_ This may work for you, but I wouldn't make a blanket
recommendation. Last time I just "exercised anyway" with symptoms
like that, I ended up sick for 8 weeks with walking pneumonia.
Those are fairly standard symptoms for overtraining BTW.

_ Nobody can tell you what's right for you. I've learned the hard
way that I need to get healthy first, or I just dig a huge hole
that takes weeks and weeks to get out of. Some people can hammer
away regardless... They only way to know is to try, but really
listen to what your body is telling you.

_ It's a really good idea to have a standard "warm up" loop of
about 10-15 mins or so. It's a good way of telling the
difference between just dragging and being sick. If you get to
the end of your warm up and you don't feel "right" go home.
If you do the same one most days, you have a very good ruler
to measure against.
