There's a rule of thumb for running while sick. The "rule" is this: Go ahead if the cold is above the neck, but take some days off if the cold is in your chest. Fever is the trump that says no running no matter where the cold is. I've been feeling a little under the weather for the past week, but in the last two days the symptoms have reared their ugly heads...thankfully above the neck. 10 miles yesterday was just fine.
Happily, the boy and wife don't have what I have (yet).
I let myself sleep in a little later this morning, so I put in my run after work. It was actually a nice run, and it was the best I felt all day. My sinuses cleared out, and I kind of got into a groove.
After the commute back to the city, I stopped by Fleet Feet and picked up my copy of Again to Carthage, John L. Parker's sequel to the cult running classic, Once a Runner. It's still pre-order on Amazon, but Fleet Feet Sports has advance copies. Also, Fleet Feet is the only place I know of where you can get brand spanking new copies of the original book, Once a Runner, for cover price. Look forward to a review sometime in the near future.
Today's Run:
5pm about 55 deg. F no wind
8.2 miles 59:30 (7:12 pace)

Bought "Again to Carthage" but haven't cracked it open yet.
