Sickness

The last few days of this week I caught a little cold and it brought up an interesting thought in my head, when you get a cold should you run through it or take afew days of all physical activity?  I have tried both options and have had mixed results.  When going to school full time or working taking a need day off and getting extra sleep seems to yield the best results.  After the day off I  always run the next 2 days easy and the distance on those days varies on the severity of the illness. Running wise this has been a pretty solid week up until getting sick.

Sunday easy recover run
Monday easy
Tuesday Easy run in the snow
Wednsday 10x1min hard on ski trails in spikes with 2mins in between
Thursday easy
Friday 6x1mile at MP (5:55) average with 60-90 sec recovery (sick)
Sat off (sick)

I decided to start up a new blog that will follow my running, training, and life as I work towards my goal. The posts just won't be about my weekly runs and workouts but also insite into my training mythology and other running knowledge I have gained in 13 years of running.
