Johnny Hall's Travels and Travails

I'm running the Lochaber Marathon on Sunday but I haven't done any sort of exercise for over a week now because I've had the worst cold ever since last week. Luckily, it wasn't flu, but my sinuses, throat and lungs have been ravaged. Rather than take a risk, I've had to sit on my backside for the last few days, waiting for it to go away. I still have a runny nose and a bit of a cough but the worst is over with. I've no idea how this will affect me on Sunday. It's not the best preparation but there's not much I can do. I've done all the hard training and this week was supposed to be pretty light anyway, so hopefully it won't make too much difference. I'll get round the course, I'm sure, but my target time looks ambitious. Still, you never know until you try.
