Is this the colour of colds?  It seems that everyone is suffering.  I don't think it's "something going round" since reports are coming in from around the globe.  Maybe it's global colding.

My hacking cough has progressed to pleghmy noise, which hurts less but tastes disgusting. It ain't man flu though.  Never had that.  It's just a cold. Or a cough to be precise.

And the debate about sex and colds is true. But can't say I feel libidinous when there's a chance of an inappropriate coughing fit and consequent early onset ejaculation.  I'll wait until I'm fit and healthy.

It also put pay to my final long run before the Marathon.  Which is a bugger.  Less than three weeks to go now and the second half of the training schedule has been shot to bits by injury and illness.  I'm looking forward to it, but will admit to being concerned about the last 6-8 miles.  I can't imagine I'll have anything left in the tank at that point.  My plan to get round in under 3:45 has been abandoned. My plan is to get round now.
