Exercise VS The Common Cold

I woke up this morning feeling off. Just a little scratchy throat, a slight cough. You know, the stuff you kind of blow off thinking it's just a bad morning.
This is the bugger that's killing me. Looks kinda like the ocean with starfish...[Image]
Fastforward about 12 hours, and here I am, cocooned in my bathrobe with a mug of tea, pretty convinced I'm going to die. Just kidding about the death part. But it got me thinking about something my college trainer always said: "Exercising when you're sick will help you feel better faster, unless you have a fever."

Part of me thinks they just told us this as an excuse to keep pushing us, so I think it's time to do a little Internet research.
