You can't stop time!

It is exactly a week from my first symptoms of man flu. I've been sniffling all week with a fuzzy head so it's been a tough week after the holiday to get back into the way of work. But I'm not alone as everybody seems to be down with some ailment or another.  My mission has been to get well enough to start training but even the thought of a relaxing yoga session hasn't got me moving.  Going back to training too early can be dangerous and prolong your absence and it wasn't until last night that I had even considered doing anything - then the snow started.
I was up early today to take my daughter to horse riding. The roads were icy, the howling wind freezing and the sleet sore when it slapped you on the face. I took the decision not to go out running but didn't feel good about it.
I read on FB of all my brave colleagues who had gone out in the cold and wet and had some adventurous if not dangerous runs. Flooding, snow, ice and a 26 mph wind didn't make for pleasant running but they completed their training - well done guys that makes you all the stronger for when the going gets tough. Sometimes you have to assess the risk v the benefit and although I feel like a wimp for not going out, I know that this will get me back to health quicker and therefore back to quality training. I hope to have a more positive report on getting back to training  as the clock is ticking - 157 days to go.  Time stops for no man (or woman).
