Bloody winter, bloody circles of infection

Got rid of a minor cold before Christmas and had a lovely time - did 4 runs during Christmas week, as you can see from the reports below. However, spending time with friends and family, rushing hither and thither to catch up with everyone over the festive period brought me into contact with all sorts of new and interesting bugs, one of which has had me flat out and incapable this week. I've not been to work since I was sent home sick on Monday and have got worse and worse ever since. Hot flushes, cold shivers, inability to breathe through my nose at all, tight chest, all over aches and pains - I've got the lot. It looks like this week will be a week without either work or training sessions and I'm taking all sorts of potions and jollops in the hope of being able to get back to normal and back on track next week. All I need now, of course, is for my other half to get the damn thing so we can pass it back and forth in a festival of caring and sharing! I hope to have more runs to report in the very near future.
