SELF's #FitGirl Fights a Bug -- and Finds an App to Get Her Back on Track

Hey #FitGirls! How has your week been? I landed in London earlier this week and let me say, it's wonderful to be back (I lived here while attending grad school a few years ago). I got on my flight from NYC feeling totally fine and landed in London a mere six hours later with a pounding headache, sore throat a lost voice and other signs of fever. Interestingly, I recently downloaded this really cool iPhone app that measures your heart rate and I noticed the past week that my heart rate upon waking was about 10 BPM faster than my usual resting heart rate is. I thought it was a misread initially, but when I asked my husband about it (he has been a serious athlete for many years), he said that an elevated resting heart rate can be a sign that your body is fighting off a fever -- I mean, isn't the human body amazing?
