What do you do when you're sick?

Last 2 days I've been hit with this constant hacking cough, it's a
tickle, nothing more really. Don't think it's allergies, I have
allergies as well, this feels like a cold or something. No fever.
Physically, I feel up for running, although yesterday I was dragging ass
a bit. I finally got my weekly milage above 40, I don't want to lose it
again.

depends on how robust you are. i have to stop completely or i will just
get sicker and never recover. jogging makes you more susceptable to flu
in first place.

Cut out all your hard runs (tempo, speedwork, fartlek, etc.)
Only easy or very easy runs. Resist the temptation to go faster.
Sleep a lot.
Drink lots of water.

It sounds like you're having allergic reactions to dickweed. Is there a
name for people who are allergic to their own reflection?

Be nice, or I'll sick The Vicar on you.

You do what your body tells you.
For some conditions running makes you feel better,
e.g. it clears the lungs for some kinds of colds.
If you feel awful running then stop.

haha, every now and then when I do click on the MAT messages I get a
chuckle. Still too far between though.

For the OP, it sounds like allergy-induced post-nasal-drip. It really
sucks for me, for a few weeks I simply don't have the normal capacity for
going fast. In college it drove me crazy during the peak time of track
season - nothing worse than this sticking you right on the week of your
biggest race and you're peaking months of training.

That makes sense. I'm starting to get over whatever it was. I think I
was sleep deprived.

Yesterday on my run, the strangest thing happened. My skin just started
itching like crazy. I had to constantly rub and scratch my face the
whole way back. They're spraying for mosquitos here to control West
Nile, I'm wondering if that might have been the cause. If it was an
allergic reaction to something else, that's the first that's ever happened.
