I came back to the Kool aid and I’m unwell.

I first started CrossFit in 2017 and did it fairly consistently for 4 years. I left in 2021 for a variety of reasons from the gym got too big and I loathed the existence of some people there to I just wanted to do something different.

After 4 years of just doing whatever randomly and not consistently, along with a wife who “loves me regardless” I put on some weight and got out of shape.

So I went back a few days ago to get back in the swing of things. It was 15min Amrap, heavy thrusters, v-ups, rope climbs, and double unders. Straight up got my ass kicked, felt good.

I did it two days ago and felt the normal post workout tiredness and soreness. Yesterday in addition to soreness, I developed shortness of breath and coughing. It’s weird because I feel “fine” with the exception of shortness of breathe and coughing. Haven’t been back yet.

Has anyone else experienced this? It doesn’t feel like how it usually does when I get a cold.
