Under the weather - that time of year again

I must have picked something up after that hike on Sunday, because it seems like all went to hell soon after. The cold pretty much knocked me out on Monday and yesterday. I had no energy whatsoever, a sore throat, and lots of congestion. Today I'm a little better, so maybe I'll try a small run or ride today.

Colds are a fact of life, and I strongly suggest that you adjust your training schedule to work around things like these, because I've always found out the hard way that if I train through a rough illness such as this, I'll just make it worse.

The bottom line is to just listen to your body.
