to run or not to run

PLAN:
track practice circuit drills with hill training. work. teach kickboxing.

ACTUAL:
not feeling like my old chipper self. allergies were bad yesterday. achy all last night. didn't go to track practice. dehydrated and sweaty. went home from work early. got my kickboxing class subbed. home. time to rest. hope i get better so i can run on saturday...

NOTE:
if you have constant allergies and are always sick like me, here is the quick "neck check test".

"above the neck" symptoms… runny or stuffy nose, sneezing or sore throat, a little easy running probably won't do any harm and, in fact, might even help. monitor your body for any symptoms such as dizziness, nausea or profuse sweating and STOP RUNNING if any of these symptoms occur.

"below the neck" symptoms… fever, fatigue, muscle aches, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, sweats, swollen glands or a hacking cough, then this indicates that you probably have a virus. Running under these conditions increases dehydration and can lead to more serious problems, so DO NOT RUN.
