Start of the program!!

Today I ran a steady three miles at the gym with a friend. I have been sick for the past week, so I took it slow and didn't time myself. If I time myself then I start worrying about how slow I am going which makes me run too fast. I probably should not have run at all, but how can I skip the very first run of the training program? I am worried about running tomorrow and Thursday if I continue to feel this ill. I guess we will have to wait and see.
