Delay - Lingering Cold and Cough
Seriously!!!
I recon I was only mildly ill last year and then I start this year off with an absolute doozy. I've been tucked up in bed for the past few days, most unlike me, dosed up to the eyeballs with over the counter medication.
A couple of years ago I ran in a 10k and knew I wasn't well at the start. I had the classic runny nose and clogged up head of a cold. Well, long story short, I completed the run, which was the goal anyway, went home, and lay down for 5 minutes and woke up in the evening feeling like I'd been run over repeatedly.
The moral of the tale: Don't run if you're not feeling well.

The Long Road (To Run)
I was supposed to be starting out all bright eyed and bushy tailed, but here I am tucked up in bed with a monster chest cold. Nose is running, and I'm hacking up phlegm (lovely, just what you wanted to hear).
So back to the real world. (blows nose and coughs)
This year I intend to take part in 4-5 half-marathons and a couple of 10k runs. Well that's the New Year's Resolution. I'm not one of those people who flies around the streets, I'm more of a plodder, think more Tortoise less Hare, but the principle's the same, I'll get to the finish eventually. The goal is to finish and not damage yourself in the process.
The first is in 7 weeks (gulp) and I know what recovery is like after a heavy cold.
Keep you updated.
