is my immune system trying to tell me something?

if so what?

so after my long run yesterday i was tired but feeling ok. then within an hour i developed a sore throat which quicly turned into a full blown head cold with blocked ears, runny nose and headache. fortunately the sore throat has gone but the rest is all still there. and the pseudoephedrine isn't really doing the job I must say. and it kept me up all night (weirdly i was having half awake dreams about ultra events - must have been reading the GNW thread on coolrunning too close to bedtime :)

anyway - i'm sick of it so i've decided to ignore it. it was a rest day today and i walked in to work. going to go to the gym and do some gentle cross-trainer-ing and some ab work at lunch. i figure some low impact stuff like walking and the cross trainer will aid the 'lose 10kg ASAP' effort!!

anyway - at least the weather is superb! it was supposed to be raining though so not sure how long it will last.

It was Melbourne's turn for crappy weather today. Sit back and enjoy your sunshine.

My only words of advice: respect your rest days. Your body needs them.

Hope you feel better soon!

Wow, what with these weird symptoms of skin legions and weeping wounds, sounds like you require a dose of penicillin rather than a few days rest! :)

Hope it all clears up miss!

Very weird, I dreamt about GNW last night as well. Definately need to stay away from CR before bed time.

Hope your feeling better for training tomorrow morning.

Hope you're getting on top of all this iron-deficiency/illness stuff real soon ellie. Sitting around watching the boys with the short stuff at the track may not have helped though?

btw - just had a big thunderstorm explode over us and head down your way about an hour ago ...

btw, btw - watermelon is the best

I don't know - I don't speak immunese.... Me and mine miscommunicate all the time ;-)

Take care mate.

Great run on the weekend. I always get a kick out of running past the clubbers coming out of the clubs.

Hope the system picks up.

Yes correct, and good thanks. I'm nursing a very sore foot but very happy I've turned the corner on the comeback.
