So I have been nursing a serious head cold since Saturday. I originally thought I would just nut up and do my run today....but I need to be as healthy as possible for my mid run of 9 and my real long run of 18. Plus after that, I promised my folks I would go up to the mountains and help them haul branches and stuff so if I don't get better sooner, I am going to be kicking myself later. I will get 9 in tomorrow morning....promise.
I can relate. I skipped two runs last week due to head cold! Take it easy, but try to get the miles in. If necessary, and if you can, suck it up and run on a treadmill (hard to be that patient for 9 miles). Running in cold/wet weather with a head cold may be more detrimental than beneficial...
