Man, I am coming down with a cold! I was supposed to run 5.5 miles today but, after an unscheduled 37 mile bike ride yesterday, and running 3 miles in the hills for the first time Fri, I decided to do my Mon night run, an easy 3 miles, today. However, I’ve been dragging all day. I’m stuffed up and feel like I have a slight fever. WAAAaaa... So, I dumped some extra carbs ito me (Gatorade 50/50 w/ water, PB on multi-grain, and a bowl of grape nuts) and I’m taking a rest day.

Hopefully I’ll be back at it tomorrow. If I feel 100%, I’ll go for the 5.5 miles. If I feel so-so, I’ll ease out 3 and be happy I was able to get out.

Being sick stinks, not to mention what it does to the training plan!

Ahhh... CHOOO!

On a good note... I tore-down and rebuilt my MTB. So, it's ready to go when the leaves start to fall.

Stay healthy folks!

Regards,
Rob

BTW:
What does the jury say about Gatorade? Do you drink it or stay away from it due to the high sugars?

Sorry to hear you're feeling sick: pump the fluids, vitamins, zinc and echinacea (sp?). That should help zap your cold.

I don't drink Gatorade because I'm decidedly NOT a Florida Gators fan! ;-)
I prefer SportSafe's Endurance drink mix, no particular reason why, but I do believe it tastes better.

Hope you feel better.  Hate those colds.

I tend to water down the Gatorade, because full strength it's sickening.

Thanks for the replies folks! I really took it easy, had plenty of fluids and carbs, and was just a bum! But, I felt much better the next day and went out for the 5.5 later in the day. I actually ran my best pace for that distance, 10.05. :D

Thanks again and take care,
Rob
