What do you do when you're sick? I've had a nasty cold for about a week and I can't breathe well enough to work out. Even walking leaves me gasping for breath. I've been doing C2 5K, but I've taken about a week off. Is it horrible to take a week off like this? Am I going to have to start over with building up my endurance?

Lift some weights?0

I felt myself starting to get a cold last year and again in February this year, but both times I powered through it with lots of cardio. I found getting hot and bothered and eating well seemed to stop it in its tracks. I got some minor symptoms but it never developed. Probably too late for you though.
Some chicken soup and lots of rest will help. Failing that, three fingers of whisky in a glass - down in one. It won't cure you but you'll stop caring0 -

At this point, this is what I'm going to try0 -
If you have a nasty cold then for the love of god stay home! The last thing I want is to reach for a set of weights that you just wiped your nose with.
It's not bad to take a week off. You might be a bit slower for the first few days when you get back into your program but it's not going to be that detrimental.0
