Wouldn’t you just know it. One of my students was sniffling and coughing, and had a lot of questions, so I had to sit next to them to answer stuff. Sure enough, I woke up the next morning with a scratchy throat. Please, not now - not the beginning of Spring Break. So I slugged down veggies and fruit, lots of protein, cups of tea, endless squirts of throat spray, and rest, rest, rest. Saturday I felt - well, not great, but just good enough for gym. I needed to go, it’d been two weeks since my last deadlift session and didn’t want to get behind. So I went. Didn’t push too hard, it went okay.

Pretty good workout, didn’t really aggravate the cold. The scratchy throat had turned into a cough, no problem except when it came time to sleep and just couldn’t doze off without coughing. Finally did it.
