Wasn't going to but here goes...

I said I was going to harden up and stop going on about my health, thinking that it was just a bout of taper madness. However, after a few days of coughing up green stuff and sounding like a a 100 a day gitane smoker, I went back to the nurse. The good news is that she listened to my chest - clear, took my temperature - normal, and thought it unlikely that I had an infection as I am not feeling too bad in myself. She thinks I have Post Nasal Drip. I have been into the chemist for some decongestant in a bid to get rid of whatever is lingering in my throat (I would definitely fail a drugs test). So, more rest & steam inhalations are the order of the day. I'm not 100%, it's true, but I feel well enough and I have 5 more days to get even more healthy.

I read this on the Bike Radar forum and I really like it:

And in the words of @johanbruyneel (12.32pm Jul 11 from TwitterBerry);

"Accept - then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it"

Tomorrow I pick up bike boxes and start making lists!
