Literally.
I've got a sniffly, sneezy, slimy, sleazy head cold.
Today was supposed to be speedwork day. I can't go to the gym, lest I sneeze on others. I don't want to go to the track, because, quite frankly, I feel like crap.
So I'm staying in.
Already did yoga.
Will go for a lunchtime walk.
Or just eat soup.
I'll figure that out when I get there.
But I was looking forward to 800m sprints. (Dear readers: The next time I need motivation, please remind me that there are times when I really WANT to run intervals and feel cheated when I cannot.)
Speaking of feeling cheated... To this cold, I have only one thing to say:
GO AWAY!!!
You're messing with my running.*
And don't even think of sticking around for my long run this weekend.
That's not an option.

Do you keep running when you're sick?
Or do you take a day off?
*Note: If Runner's World is any indication, I'm not the only person suffering from this malaise.

Ugh, head colds are so annoying. Lots of OJ and chicken soup - hope you feel better!!
ReplyDeleteyuck - sorry you're sick! I sometimes try to "run through" a cold, with mixed results - sometimes I feel better, sometimes worse. Hope you recover soon!
