Just a point about training when you have a cold:
After you get in the first hard set your body will produce enough adrenaline to clear up your head and it will generally stay clear for the duration of the workout.
The cold symptoms will return about 1 hour after the workout however.
There was an article in the NY Times that said that it was likely that the duration of a cold would be reduced if you continue to workout during the cold.
In any event I workout with colds all the time (I don't workout with headaches or diarrhea, however).
I don't do maximum training when I have a cold and I try to get in one heavy set early in the workout to get the adrenaline going, but I generally get in the workout; I do cardio after I get the head cleared up which is usually about 15 minutes into the workout. It helps me to sleep at night and I think that offsets any other disadvantages. I doubt that I am making any progress during the course of the cold, but at least I feel better about myself than I would if I skipped the exercises.
