exercising when ill

[binö]

i've got a mild to bad cold.
nothing to keep me bedridden, but still painful...i lifted yesterday and ran 5 grueling switchback miles today...thought maybe it would burn it outta me.
good idea or bad?

so i'm lowering my immunity by taxing my cardio system?
i was afraid of that, i'm feeling worse now

Stay indoors and try not to get the rest of us hard working individuals sick.

bad idea!

Years back I was really sick and went clubbing anyway.
I took ecstasy and must have sweat it out because I felt fine by the time I went home and thereafter.

I'm sick right now. And the only thing i'm exercising is my right to work from home.
