Some kinda virus that I probably allowed to attack me by weakening my immune system with lack of sleep and too much stress at work.  Nothing I can do about it now but live and learn ................................... and whine about it, so here I am!--whining!

I feel your pain. I've been sick all week with a fever and bad cough. I haven't been able to workout all week.

I'd send you a picture of some cheese, but am not clever enough to know how to do that!  This is extremely frustrating, but don't let the stress of this add to your already high stress level!  Just change what you can and accept the rest.  You'll be back at it soon enough!  Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Same boat, came down with sore throat, Sunday nite after a bike ride, Monday was suck on throat logenzes all day, swam and ran on Tues, then blew my nose the rest of the day as the cold moved to my sinus and lungs. Wed- Rest. Now it's Thursday, Nose and lungs are still stuffy and hacky.

Do you try to get an easy workout in? Rest some more?

I just rest.  Assuming you have a good base built, a few days off won't hurt a thing.  I think it's better to rest and then start logging good workouts again, rather than prolong your illness while logging junk miles.  But, that's just me.

I have cold too and it's lasted a week already. Looks like I am not the only one but it is very frustrating. I have a tri on June 5th and I am not able to train as planned.
