Training through a cold


I woke up this morning with a nasty sore throat, slight chest congestion and a tiny wheeze. Here's the rub: I am in week 9 of Hal Higdon's Half Marathon training program (running the Tinkerbell Half Marathon on Jan. 29th). I am supposed to run 5 miles today and a 10K on Sunday.

Any advice? Do I attempt the run today? Skip it and focus on resting and recuperating? Ordinarily I would just skip it but it makes me nervous being so close to race day.

For the record I blame my 23-month-old son, the world's cutest germ factory.
