5 km running sick

This week pretty much sucked. I'm sick, this time for real too. I actually went home early on Sunday (which is so rare it only happened once in the 2005-2006 school year). This made me skip my mid week run. The week felt so long without it, and I was so looking forward to running today and tomorrow. Running today wasn't much fun. I only did 5 km, and I actually had to stop and catch my breath several times. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. I feel like I should run anyway, even if it's only 5 km with stops because I don't want to have to fall back to short runs once I'm feeling better. I guess I'll have to wait and see. I'm really looking for that 16 km run, but it keeps getting farther and farther away.
