Speed bump

I've hit a speed bump - a way of been told to slow down. It turns out the technology was telling me to stop training but ignored it. My body has gone on strike. Since my last run I have been floored by a "snot fest". It was 3am before I got to sleep last night and it will be a few days before I can even consider training.
I shouldn't be surprised as this happened last year at the same time. As soon as I take my foot off the gas then bam! There is little I can do about it except get through this as quickly as possible.  It will mean I have to dial back on the training and rebuild.  If there is a time to get a cold, it is 4 months from a major event.  So I am human after all. What is going to make the difference is how I approach this mentally. It's only a small set back but the thought of taking two steps backwards to take one step forward isn't fun. However if I want to achieve everything I have set my sights on in 2014, I need to get back on track.  Here's to a healthy 2014 for everyone. 🏃
