Sick on 2nd Day of Chinese New Year

Damn.. I'm sick. According to some, its coz i'm over training and not giving my body enough rest. Possibly, or it could be i didn't train for the last two days and my body was protesting.
Anyway, started with a runny nose yesterday. Then thought i caught a cold. The runny nose lasted all day while i was at Turf Club helping Dad. And when i came home, it still wasn't any better. And i was worried. Coz i really wanted to do the Tanjong Beach swim today. And i haven't trained in the last two days. So i decided to sleep early and pray hard that it would be sufficient. But, i tossed and turned all night and could barely sleep. Finally fell asleep at close to 3am. And considering i had to be up by 6.30 in the morning, i figured i'll probably miss the alarm and not wake up. But before the alarm went off, i was up. I hit the snooze button a couple of times and had a mini debate with myself as to whether i should go for training or not. Finally, i was awake. And decided, what the heck, will just go for the swim first, if i feel lousy, will skip the run today.
Did a easy 6 laps, ave abt 10min per 400m. So i guess that is about my usual pace. And after that, i felt alright, so went for the run. The nose threatened to get runny a couple of times, but after the first 2km, it went off until after the run. Did a 4.89km run. 28min 25s. About the same speed as my last Thursday run. But considering i swam about 2.4k before the run, i'm rather pleased. Just that i can't last.. Hee.. Last km was struggling.. Oh well.. Going to take a short nap now to rest before the relatives come over..
