Rest Day

I have a rule of thumb that I abide by, which decides whether I am going to run or not when 'under the weather.' This rule is, if my sickness is above my shoulders I press on, if it's below my shoulders I need to rest. So, today I rest. I have a cough thats raking my throat as it barks on out, and is orignating from some pretty tight and congrested lungs. My training schedule calls for a 2 miler today, and 8 miles tomorrow, so I need to rest up and hopefully push through 8 miles tomorrow. If this cough hangs on I will need to revise my training plan though...we'll see what tomorrow brings!
