Yes, I think adequate rest is SO important in fighting illness.

The Chief is one to keep working through everything, so often his colds linger for weeks. And he always razzes me about taking it too easy when I feel a cold coming on, but mine are generally much shorter and gentler (if any cold can be called "gentle" that is) than his. And I usually avoid cycling when I'm fighting a cold, too. But what I want to take a rest from are the work things, not the fun things like cycling.

This morning, it's still above the neck, so I'll try a short, easy ride and report back later.

As Grog said, thanks to everyone for sharing your "cold" stories.
