Bit of a set-back - laid low with the lurg

Rather stupidly, I'd been congratulating myself on avoiding even a common cold over the last two years - what a healthy chap. Wrong! Not sure of the exact reason, but I have a nasty head cold, streaming nose and am feeling pretty rough. Probably a combination of the step-up in training, too many late nights at work and out with friends, booze and a couple of days standing in the cold watching football. But as a result, I haven't done any time on the turbo, and didn't go out for a ride this weekend either. Managed to get a swim in before the onset of the cold. But now just trying to be sensible and speed the recovery process along, so I can get back into training as soon as possible.

On Tuesday evening I went to see Fulham beat Burnley 3-0, with a couple of guys from the office. One of them, Paul, has 4 season tickets there, and took us along as kick-off was past his sons' bedtime! His seats have a great view of the pitch, but the wind doesn't half rip round that stadium coming off the river. Burnley were completely outplayed, but their support didn't stop singing for the whole of the second half - impressive!

Weekly totals
Commute - 60 miles
Other rides - zero
Swim - 1500m
