Learned Helplessness

So after spending my third weekend in a row sick i'm beginning to lose hope of even training for my next race. no matter what i do i can't stay healthy.i eat well, sleep as much as i can, and train conservatively. i was sick over thanksgiving so i rested and ate well and after my first workout back i started getting sick again so i rested. i ended up coming down with something very similar to the flu just without the fever for 4 days so i rested after that until i felt better. i did one workout last week on thursday. by friday evening my throat was sore again and i became congested. this weekend no workouts again because i have been sick since friday. i still feel like trash today but better than yesterday. if you are counting thats almost 3 weeks of sickness and 2 workouts total in 3 weeks. i can't firgure it out. i sleep every hour that i'm not working, eat as healthy as i can, and don't push my body at all. i was healthier when i slept 4 hours a night, ate crap all the time and worked out 20 hours a week. needless to say i'm falling into a helpless state with no light at the end of the tunnel. we'll see how i feel tomorrow, let me take a guess...bad
