Got sick during rest week :(

Hi everyone, I hope your having a great weekend! I was wondering if anyone participates in active rest weeks? Unfortuantly I was feeling run down so decided to take a full week break from working out other than my usual walking (10,000 steps Mon - Fri) and house work / cooking. I was feeling better and done a HIIT and Lower body strength exercise on Thursday and then bam, yesterday I woke up with an awful head cold and its moved to my chest this morning. I still have my usual appetite so have been eatting quite a bit but hopefully will wake up feeling better as I want to get back to my usual routine working out 4-5 times a week. My poor arms and core havnt been worked out for 9 days now. Weird how you take a rest week and then get struck down with a bug, I havn't been ill all year round. Has anyone else experienced this?
