Feeling cold and flu coming on :-(

I felt my first run of week 4 harder than any runs before it. And today I am feeling like the onset of flu.

I am taking day nurse/night nurse tablets - my usual defence against flu.

I hope to do W4R2 on Thursday. Fingers crossed!

If the illness is below the neck rest, if it's just a sore throat or stuffy nose then keep on running it'll help you get over it.

Trust me, you'll feel much better for doing it.

Get well soon and don't worry. Your hard work up to now won't be wasted just because you missed one run.

You might not come down with anything. Some times these threaten but don't materialise.

Woke up this morning feeling worse. It's definitely flu.

I am glad that I started the treatment yesterday itself.

I hope to be back running soon though and hope to finish Week 4 this week itself.

In the meantime, I am taking rest.
