I felt the earth tremor too, RR - but I only managed a half-awake state and assumed it was the cat trying to headbutt the bedroom door open. Didn't realise what had happened until I switched the radio on in the car on the way to work.
Isn't running supposed to be FUN? What's all this obsessive avoiding of colds about? As Tim says, you can run with a cold - and flu season isn't upon us yet. If it's any consolation, I get virus-laden snot and worse on my hands several times a day in the course of work, my kids have all had their start-of-term viruses, I am a lifelong non-consumer of supplements and "herbal" products in bottles, and I rarely get colds (last one was in June and the previous one was 12 months before) and have never had anything that could be called flu.
Fingers firmly crossed and placed on a wooden desk now.
Anyway...today.
What: I'd like to fit in a swim and a short recovery run.
Why: Cleared paperwork last night, workload today looks manageable, might be able to sneak off for an hour this afternoon, and I've got an awkward hour or so between the end of the day job and a moonlighting session that's just begging to be filled.
Last hard day: Yesterday. Another entry in the PB book.
Last rest day: Friday.
