Think I'm starting with MANflu. Classic symptoms are all in place: sore throat, tickly cough, elevated temperature, feeling of impending doom re tomorrow's Trog :closed:

I've been feeling a bit grotty for the last two days, I'm trying to ignore it but I suspect I've been over trtaining in the cold weather.

When I did the recce of BG legs 1 and 2 two weeks ago I had a little tickly cough and a bit of a sore throat... didn't really think much of it as over the course of the winter I've had a few very minor coldy things that have been and gone with no bother. Not so this time. I was pretty much wiped out for 10 days and probably as ill as I've ever felt. My chest in particular was a real problem; I suspect because I'd spent so long out working hard in very cold air. I managed two short runs Wednesday and Thursday this week and am feeling just about right now, but that's a full two weeks since the symptoms first showed.

I've hit the cough medcine hard and think I might just make it through to tea time now. I'm considering writing to McVities to suggest Covonia-flavoured Jaffa Cakes. They make good sense to me :thumbup:

Wiskey, Lemon and honey in a large dose or two or THREE.

May not clear it but you will sweat and sleep.

Don't worry about the hangover that's a down side of this treatment.

Mind you, this isn't a bad idea either. Partic. the whiskey part.

I'd like some of those for my next bout of man-flu. I could drop in the suggestion to their Stockport factory which I pass once a week....there's the obligatory winding down of the window+deep inhale of the sweet aroma when we pass. but I digress. great idea DT, and a lovely avatar :)

I've been on the Covonia every two or three hours and attacked the virus thoroughly with half a bottle of red wine, a pint of Dent Golden Fleece, a bottle of Old Pecilier(sp?) and a pint of Ilkley Mary Jane. I'm the best I've felt all day atm :closed:

I fell rough as houses today. Chesty, congested and I've got a dry tickly cough. My knee hurts too :closed:
