Well this morning I woke up with I believe a cold. I was little warm, had a sore throat, and a nice full stuffy nose. Going to the track was out of the question because my body also felt weak. What a time to develop a cold almost a week before the marathon. I did run though and I probably could have gone to the track. Even though my head felt like it wasn't even in the run but asleep, my body seemed to know what to do.

I ran the first three warmup miles with the dog 7:31,7:15,:7:07. Then dropped the dog off back home,and right in the middle of the fourth mile I thought I would do 3 mp miles. First mile (since I started so late in this mile) was 6:36. Then I decided to pick it up a bit 6:08. Well might as well pick it up some more 5:50. Then in the middle of the last cool-down mile I changed my mind and wanted to finish with a MP mile 6:29. I did 7 miles overall, and I still feel hot, tired and weak, but I will get some rest tonight and see how I feel tomorrow.

Hope you get feeling better before the race. Believe it or not sometimes I run my very best just after I've overcame a cold. So if the timing works out for you- You should be right on track to fight this thing off then be ready to roll for Teton. The only downfall is that after I've ran a hard race I get sick again the week after.

I agree, as long as you shake it before the race all should be good. Just make sure you do not overue it this week with the cold. It is kind of a forced taper in a way as long as you get healthy before the marathon. Focus on Vitamin C and liquids and hopefully you will shake this thing in a matter of 3-4 days. You have a had a rough final two weeks but it actually is about the best time for this to happen as you have already done the hard work and the final two weeks is primarily for rest. Don't worry as you will not have lost any fitness at all over these last two weeks regardless.
