I've been fighting a cold for the last couple of days, taking anything that will zap it before it gets a hold but unfortunately its beaten me and after a bad night I've woken today with a temperature and snotty head.
So I can't do my long run - or any run - today. Again. I am fed up with this. Now that the calf is feeling a lot better I had intended to get another long run in before the taper but I am not risking going for a run with this lurgie and blowing all the work I've done.
I hope that it will go off in a couple of days and I can get out on Tuesday for a 15/16 miler then next Sunday for a 20 miler and then it will be taper time. If this plan doesn't work out then I am seriously worried that I will be undertrained.
I'm crossing everything and hoping for the best.
