Down for the count…

I guess it has to happen sooner or later. I am down with an energy-sapping, schedule-shredding cold. This is the first cold I have had since as long as I can remember. I have cold symptoms. They seem pretty mild yet they are strong enough to prevent me from running.

I was going to start my marathon training tomorrow with a 17 km long run but now I think I will delay it a week. We’ll see how it goes. I was also supposed to go to karate class today but that would be futile. Which is too bad since there will be a grading very soon.

So if I miss this grading so what? There will always be another one and I’m in it for the exercise anyway.
