[Charliecat5]

I've tried drowning it in whisky, and immersing it in chocolate, in spite of that it has preserved for over two weeks. Man flu, a horrible cold, the worse one I have had for years. But enough was enough, so even though my nose still dribbled and my cough still rasped, I set off for a run this evening.

An easy one was the intention. I would run a mile up Juggs lane to the end of the field and then simply run back. However, by the end of mile one I was feeling OK; alright, my breathing was a little heavy but you know, I was still alive. So a quick decision and I continued to complete the Kingston circuit which is 3 relatively easy road (well cycle path) miles.

The second mile wasn't too bad either and pretty quick (sub 8 min/mi), but holy crap, mile three! I think I coughed up most of my lungs... What can you do? I kept running. 3.2 miles at 8.15 min/mi. I need my bed now.
