Should I run when I’m sick?

Last week my kids got me sick.  Since they recently started school they must have picked up a bug and now spreading it to my wife and I. I decided to rest over the Labor Day weekend and just relaxed.  Earlier in the week I felt pretty good, so I ran an easy 10k (6.2 miles). But the following morning I felt like crap. I guess I didn’t fully recover.  I think I’m going to take a few more days off to try to fully recover (or do super easy runs).  I have the San Jose Rock and Roll Half Marathon in 4 weeks, and I don’t want have to have anything lingering going into that weekend.
