I know for a fact I'm not the only one around here that still has or has recently had a summer cold. It's 100 degrees here today, so it seems a weird time to get a cold. The symptoms I still have feel like a cold with stuffy head, sinus drainage, etc; but this thing started in a weird manner. I was at work last Thursday and instantly started feeling dizzy and achy. I tried to tough it out, but had to go home early. I got to feeling extremely bad Thursday night and had a fever of 100.8 at one point. By Friday morning, the fever was gone and it just felt like the common cold.
I'm tired of waiting for this crap to totally leave, and I'm thinking about going out and riding later today anyway. From what I've read, it seems okay to exercise with a cold, just don't go too hard or expect too much from yourself. Anyone disagree?
I also saw through some of my online reading that really strenuous exercise can actually increase the risk of getting a cold.
