Im in day two of a cold which has been fairly mild as they go, perhaps due to my decent fitness for this time of year. It stinks to get sick while trying to get ready for the Spring and lose some fitness while recovering. I'm pretty good about washing my hands if touching things or shaking hands with others. I'm guilty of eating at a lot of restaurants lately and I bet that's where I picked up the bug. Cooks and staff come in no matter what and pass it on to the diners. I hadn't had a cold in 3 years so I was due I reckon. I just got off the trainer and sweat like a pig so I hope that will help.
