I came down with a bad chest cold on Friday and took the weekend off from training. I was able to get over this terrible virus that went straight to my lungs with some natural remedies. I slept most of the day yesterday and today. I also took extra doses of astragalus, bovine colostrum, echinacea, apple cider vinegar, vitamin d, and zinc. I am sure that my immune system was compromised due to my lack of sun exposure, hence the low vitamin d levels indicated by a recent blood test.
Today I went to an indoor track and ran 20 minutes easy, 40 minutes of weight training, and 20 min jog cool down. I recovered with a large glass of fresh made red cabbage, ginger, carrot, and apple juice. I hardly have any cold symptoms and I am glad to be over this.
