Never ending cold - keep training thru it or give up? r/o
I've always gone by the 'above the neck, okay to workout, below the neck, rest' theory. However, I've had a pretty bad cold for 3 weeks now. I've continued training through it, but it's just not getting any better. I haven't had any fever, but tons of congestion, cough, and a constant sore throat due to post-nasal drip. I'm also feeling super tired and worn out.

I'm afraid to stop working out b/c I think this thing is just going to keep dragging on and if I stop until I feel better, it could easy be another 2 weeks. I took yesterday off and am not feeling any better today :(

Just suck it up & keep training at this point? It's definitely not the flu or bronchitis or anything.

*added* Oh, forgot to mention, I've got a half marathon in 5 weeks. I'm light on base after having a baby last year, and have been following a 9 week training plan for the half, so missing workouts right now would mean missing out on the heart of my training plan.
