Fever

Two days of fever.

First I thought that I had overdone it. Tuesday I did the super-lot up to my bits of the second, plus intensive urdhva dhanurasanas, including some micro adjustments in a lot of positions. Tuesday evening I massaged my whole body with the Japanese miracle box. Hubby told me that was too much.

Wednesday morning I was slow, lazy and tired in the practice. I managed the first series in two (2!) hours, and that's without relaxation. Some slow practice. I found myself staring out of the window between a vinyasa and the asana. I had a lot of micro adjustments, as well, so that explains some of the "staring", you must slow down and stop for a while to really feel and remember the feeling of a slightly different way of doing a asana. Well, Wednesday afternoon I had fever. And yesterday, and today. Plus headache and running nose.

I was seriously thinking whether too much ashtanga and massage together can create fever. Like sometimes you feel this hot burn in the joints after a very intensive practice. Could it be? Could the body be smart enough to have it's way of telling me to calm it down a little before anything more serious happens? Well with the winter coming, colleagues being sick and with the runny nose, it is probably just a normal cold.

A break of two days is making me miss ashtanga practice already. I'll keep my head cold though, and re-start only when there is no more fever. I feel stiff.
