I think the cold / flu that I've been trying to ignore (or at least hide with a regular dose of Cold & Flu tablets) for the past couple of weeks, has finally worn me down.
Adding to that the lack of sleep I got on Saturday night by; a) staying up till 1.30am to watch the Tour de France Time Trial and b) being kicked out of my bed by Lian and sleeping in her bed (the spare room is just too cold).
So I had a mild headache for most of Sunday, which probably wasn't helped much either by sitting out in the sun having lunch (and half a beer!!) from the Fish Market.
I still wanted to get out for a run though and had spotted what looked like a good route through some parkland. I headed out in the late afternoon and ran for about 4km before finding the start of what looked like another 3+km of parks broken up by some cross streets. What I didn't realise was that the parks were also fenced off at each cross street too. What is all that about? So it took me a bit of searching to find a way through and finally got back onto familiar territory having covered, I guess, about 7km. Still feeling a bit crap!
I intended to do a long loop around to complete 15km in total. But I really wasn't feeling good at all so I binned it at about 10km - in just about 1 hour.
So not too shabby, but I'm not sure if it did as much good as it did harm!
I'm contemplating taking this week off the early morning runs. I'm in Brisbane tomorrow anyway. I really want to shake off this cold completely and with only 3 weeks to go until City to Surf, I figure I should get it out of the way sooner rather than later.
I'll see how I feel after returning from Brisbane tomorrow night!

Hope you're feeling better. I think its wise to take it easier given that C2S is not far away - better to be underdone (as they say) than really ill.
