How soon do you return to workouts after the flu?

I am getting over the flu (gastroenteritis). This is my third day. My appetite is not 100% yet, and I still have a slight headache, but I am night and day better than Monday (Day 1). Anyway, there is a timed 5K and 10K swim this Saturday that I can swim, but I am not sure that's the best thing to do right now. My last workout was 4 days ago. I will take today off and maybe workout tomorrow. Thoughts?

    I have the damn flu again. I am so ticked. I have the 1-hour postal next Saturday. I missed today's workout, I will more than likely miss Saturday morning's. That gives me a week. Will I be able to put my best foot forward by next Saturday (9 days after the flu started)? I fear I already know the answer. I blame my children for this. I never used to get sick until kids. You take the good, you take the bad...
