What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

Continue from the last post:

Sat: Trail - Ran 3.23 miles
Sun: Trail - Biked 6 miles @ NJ. Then got drenched with torrential rain 1 mile before getting back!!

Stupid me. I tried to go a little further and on the way back, when I was about 1 mile away from my sister's place. This downpour came fast and furious on me and I had nowhere to hide, and the path was quickly deluged.  Luckily I found a little shed that is the park office so I stood under the roof for cover.  Then my sister came to pick me up. Later that night, I started with a minor sore throat and it progressed to minor cold/flu symptoms on 

Mon: Low fever, headache, and congested.  I don't remember much except going to bed early. I guess that counted as my rest day. With 9 hours of sleep I was recharged. No more fever nor sore throat; everything seemed to clear up.  Need a good workout. 

Tue: Gym - Ran 1 mile (sprint). Biked 7.5 miles (fartlek) 

Ok the title is a bit exaggerated.  It's not that serious. While most cold/flu symptoms last for a few days, I think it goes away rather quickly this time because of the upcoming race. Tomorrow I plan to do some strength training for the hills, then maybe 4 easy miles on Thursday and followed by 2 easy miles on Friday!
