Man, I was not able to do my scheduled long run today due to a nasty head cold. Two of my kids had Strep last week, my wife had a head cold starting with a sore throat. Last night it crept up on me, and this morning...WHAMMO Angry
I thought about going out, but really not feeling well, and completely congested...Also, it'll give my
sore right knee a little rest I spose?!

Question...should I try my long run tommorrow (Mon) which is a scheduled rest day, or just scratch it this week? Black eye

My advice: get yourself tested for strep.

Strep does not always cause a sore throat and CAN cause nasal congestion.
It's all fun and games until the flying monkeys attack.

If you are pretty sick, I would skip it. Missing one run isn't going to kill you.

Thanks all for the concern...wasn't viral. Treated symptoms with, fluids, Day & NyQuil and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Took your advice Steve! Feeling better today! Was just a crummy head cold you get from having little ones I spose?!

Hope to take an easy 3 miler in today!
