Ok, so no running on my birthday, or any other day since. I have the pissing flu. I am highly annoyed about this, as I have not had flu or a bad cold since New Year, 1999. That's nearly six years. No more boasting about my robust and indestructable immune system. I now feel like a bag o' shite. Shakes, shivers, muscle aches, pounding head, throat like broken glass, nose as stuffed as a Christmas turkey and hacking away like an emphsymic miner.

Question is, can I run like this? Is it wise? Because I feel terrible in the morning, terrible in the afternoon and terrible in the evening. But there's a little window around lunchtime when I feel a little bit more like myself. After I've drugged myself up to the eyeballs. Should I risk it for a biscuit? I'm going c-c-c-crazy stuck inside this flat.
