Was planning on doing 30 mins in the morning but I'm feeling as if I am coming down with something ... sore throat, headache, etc.

Wondering what to do

Any words of wisdom most welcome

Sleep on it... if you feel okay in the morning:) If no change.. rest up... the runs will wait!

Thanks very much for taking the time to advise. Decided to miss today and see how I am tomorrow. I'll either be better (and run) or I'll be much worse (def not run)

Thanks everyone. Gave my planned Tuesday morning run a miss. Woke up today, still got sore throat but hasn't worsened so braved a run this morning.

Thanks again for the advice
