I've got a full-on head cold which may be moving into my chest. I skipped last night's run in lieu of rest. The first half of the night I slept well but the second half was terrible. Finally, I just got up and ran. I was plodding along at a pedestrian pace wondering if 1) I would be able to even finish the run, and 2) I should have be running given the way I was feeling. I never really know if it's best to rest or run when sick. There's a rule-of-thumb I once read but I can't remember it now. This morning I kept trying to convince myself that running would help flush the cold from my system (whatever that means). Who knows? Hopefully I'm feeling better later today. I know it's hard to focus at work when I feel like this (and I certainly don't need that right now!) and it's difficult to get quality runs in.
