Get on a good roll with the workouts and then bammo, sick as a dog.
I have found an amazing treatment for colds. It requires an somewhat open mind, but I swear I haven't been sick since I started this, and I have two little ones in preschool.
There is something called a neti pot. You can buy them at most natural food stores. It is used in India as a part of ayurvedic heath maintenance. It is a small ceramic pot, looks kind of like a teapot, but no top. You fill it with warm salt water, stick the spot in one nostril, tilt your head to the side and pour the water into the nostril. If you head is positioned properly, the water will drain out the other nostril. Sounds funky, but it is easy to do.
At the health food store, I found a solution of zinc, goldenseal and a few other things to add to the net pot solution. Now at the first sign of a cold, I do the saline/zinc nasal wash. It seems to stop the cold in its tracks. If you are congested, it is a great, natural way to help break the congestion up.
I know this is not for everyone, but I have had great results! Hope you feel better soon.
