I'm supposed to run a 5mile race in two hours. I even made a green sparkle skirt to run in! I started getting sick on Thursday and was hoping I'd be mending by now, but I'm not. I feel like I've been hit by a truck. No fever, but I'm achey and all my nodes in my neck are swollen. I'm not congested per se, but I am a but nasally with some gross post nasal drip going on. I've got a headache and slight dry cough. And I'm bummed . I know I'll feel a bit better after some ibuprofen and a hot shower, but I'm still not sure racing is wise at this point and just wanted some other opinions.
The other factor is the weather. It's supposed to be 38* with 20mph winds and possible rain...
WWH&FD?
ETA: Just got up. I do have a fever (100.7 WTF!). I think that seals the deal.
In this case, I would probably skip. If you are already achy and have a headache I don't see how running will help much, plus you will be miserable the whole time.
