    Okay so I'm stupid person trying to run high-"ish" mileage year round. This requires that I occasionally run through ailments like the beginnings and/or endings of a cold flu etc. So now I have swollen glands though. Do other crazy runners get this? Advice from other people driven by mileage plans?
    running until I hit 1900 miles for the year. whether fast or slow I will just run.

      Since I'm currently running and still coughing up green stuff (yes I know TMI) I'd probably run through swollen glands though so far I haven't had to. Sorry no real advice lol

        Can you breathe? Then I'd say you can run. I've done far dumber things. Not that I'm recommending ever listening to any of my advice based on that statement alone.

          I'm a big wuss, but I don't like to be sick. I've always heard that "rest" is one of the things you ought to consume in large amounts when you are sick, along with fluids and television. And in my book, "running" <> "rest." I've had congestion, headaches, "digestive issues," and general fatigue for about a week, and I haven't run a step.

            Scout, I can breathe... I have some residual soreness in my lungs with a little teenie bit of mucus from a prior bout of the flu, which I ran through the latter half of. I managed to do a 12 miler with the flu. But the funny thing is I feel less worse than I did last week but this week my motivation is shot. Is it because if you don't break down physically your mind just caves? I want my MOJO.... Sad

                You're allowed to have a bad week. I know that just the fact that you're sick can have a demoralizing effect. If you need to take a day or two or seven, then so be it.

                      My glands swell up all the time, ranging from being sick to just not getting enough sleep. My doctor said it's pretty normal, it's been happening since i was in high school. I just run through it :O) They'll go away after awhile !! Good luck

                        Trent--No diggity huh.... Vegas slapped me bad last week but I still put 38.2 miles in. This week there's no excuse really... just feel like garbage. I think we've discussed the real issue: mojo is no-go lately tomorrow! Maybe I can throw down 15 miles or something. Thanks for letting me know that swollen lymph nodes/glands are normal...
