At the end of a work trip. Feeling pretty rough. 102 fever and cough. Anything that worked well for y'all? Hydration and rest?

During the most critical point of my full marathon training, I tested positive for Covid-19 on 1/27/22. The symptoms went away the next day, but I defied logic by running 20 miles on 1/29/22. I continued drinking plenty of water and refrained from running or swimming for two consecutive days. Then, I ran 15 miles on 2/5/22 and 10 miles on 2/12/22. Because of the Lord's abounding grace and my resilience, I was able to overcome Covid to continue training for the Austin Marathon.
As a result, I felt fully prepared for the 2022 Austin Marathon on 2/20/22. I completed my first ever full marathon in 3:55:21.3. On 2/19/23, I will run the 2023 Austin Half Marathon, and this will be my 9th Half Marathon.
Yes, I enjoy running half marathons because it is the sweet spot of long distance running. For many, including myself, a half marathon is the ideal balance of speed and stamina. It's long enough to feel like a legitimate effort, but short enough to run hard without limping for the next three days. Also, there is much less time commitment to train for a half marathon.AggieBarstool said:Iraq2xVeteran said:

Hey, I wonder if this guy likes to run marathons?
As far as Paxlovid, it worked well for my wife and I. No side effects whatsoever. My symptoms abated in about 72 hours. My wife was not as fortunate as she was pregnant at the time (with a suppressed immune system).
