OK, third time training for a race, third time I end up with a bloody cold!!  Felt it coming on last week with a tickle in my throat, thought I'd managed to get rid of it by using first defence, now, it seemed to work and I thought I had got rid, but nooooo, I stopped using it and on Monday night, I went for a quick run and BANG, the cold hit me!  Felt crap on Tuesday, Wednesday was not too bad but then this morning I woke up feeling really shite!  So, phoned in sick!  Two days off now!  Said I would go back on Saturday but we'll see how that goes, but I can't see why not..........

So, no running since Monday night!  Need to play catch up over the next 3 weeks!!
