Man Flu

Second dose for 2009, which promps the question.

Shall I run though it?

I seem to remember being told that if its above the throat you should train, below it rest.

Have a cough now so im think the "sensible" thing in this case would be... rest :mad:

Thoughts and opinions would be most welcome.

Rest and it'll pass sooner;)

Ah!

That explains your absence from tonights reps. You missed a good session - 8 x 400 and 200s.

Hope you're using some of that sick bed time to check out some good routes on the map!:D

Will you be up and running by the weekend?

Lots of sympathy - hope you're being looked after - hot toddy etc! Such a terrible ailment; man flu.:rolleyes:

Running helps you "sweat it out" but if you stil feel bad then leave it alone. I find training either makes me a lot feel better or makes me feel only a bit worse so might be worth a gamble ;)

I have had septic tonsilis for 6 weeks, and i went yesterday to Holland & Barratt, and after just one teaspoon of this ...

Colloidal Silver is said to act as an anti-biotic, antiseptic, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial.

My sore throat has cleared completely!

So, if you want to run, and want to get rid of the sore throat, maybe try this too...

Also good for bruises and cuts...

Hi All,

Thanks for the responses. I did 4 miles yesterday and didnt feel to bad but it has made my cough worse so im going to take this evening off and see what happens tomorrow.

Gutted I missed the intervals, its a great quality session.

Been looking at the maps stef, dont your worry, probably wont go too far this weekend though.

Mrs Ginge has man flu too so i have had to self medicate with brandy:p its not all bad.

Graeme

Ive finally got if after reading everyone having it for the past few weeks and months. Woop Woop! :rolleyes:

My manager was a total cock when i rung up saying i cant work tonight. :mad:

Now don't sugar coat it NB. Tell it how it is! :D

I thought one day off uni was enough but im starting to regret coming in today.
My head feels like ive been battered, and im trying not to shower everyone when i sneeze - good job my grandma bought me some hankies for crimbo. :D

Think I've got MANflu! :(:(:( I'm feeling awful but suspect my planned 3hour run followed by Sunday night curry might see it off ;) Certainly hope so!!

My MANflu seems to be a lot better. Wonder if it was a really a combination of a touch of hay fever and a bit of a hangover ;)

Ooops, wrong thread.

A WOMAN'S POEM:

Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he's rich and self-employed,
And when I spend, won't be annoyed.
Pull out my chair and hold my hand.
Massage my feet and help me stand.
Oh send a king to make me queen.
A man who loves to cook and clean.
I pray this man will love no other.
And relish visits with my mother.

A MAN'S POEM:
I pray for a deaf-mute gymnast nymphomaniac
with big tits who owns a bar on a golf course,
and loves to send me fishing and drinking.
This doesn't rhyme and I don't give a shit.

It bloody is mate, 6m walk with dog has failed to cure me, lets hope a few strongbow's will see it off tonight, glad to be watching the cyclocross tomorrow instead of riding it.

Shuffles off to kitchen for a can, moaning and whinging as he goes.
