zippidy doo da - Running Nov. 26-Dec.2

<insert string of random curse words here>

I decided that Zicam was in fact just prolonging my misery. I should have just let myself get the nasty cold last week (which I fought like the ****ens) and then it'd be mostly over by now. I have a full blown, all out head cold that is now starting to migrate to my lungs. Yay. And to think I'm supposed to go run 50k in about 60 hours. Not happy.

At least we'll have a nice weekend on the beach.

Ugh - sorry so many people are having a bad week with illness and injury.

I went for a 3kmwalk/jog again today. Two days in a row. Felt ok. DYING to run but forcing myself to walk. It's icey too so I really should be careful. I don't really want to do too much before I go for my gait analysis on Dec. 17th anyway so if I just get and walk/jog 3-4 times a week, I'll be happy.

This sounds exactly like my cold. I too tried to stuff my face with Zicam for a few days. I have had good results with it in the past, but this time it didn't seem to do much good, and now I have the cold that you are describing. I was going to call in sick to work today, but today just happens to be the day that something very important was happening with my project...... and the two people who could have filled in for me were also out sick. So I spent all day doing moderate physical labor instead of laying on the couch, giving my poor hamstring a rest, and getting over this cold.

Oh well. The Nyquil will kick in soon, and I might just forget to set my alarm clock.

All of this is not good for my ambitious half-marathon training schedule.

Sorry for the rant.

Awwwww Yellow!! That sucks. You've worked so hard for this!!

((((((((Hugs)))))))), maybe you'll blow it out in a day.

Ooops, missed the Tuesday morning run because of a meeting at 7:30 am, then stayed in bed longer this morning 'cause my sweetie is enjoying a week off and it's just good to spend some cuddle time together.

WIll catch up tomorrow!!

Holy Cow...the whole group needs some TLC....I am really sorry that you all are feeling poorly. It just stinks....

I am still taking it very easy. We did our second run this week tonight. Trail run as dark was coming on. I just made it out of the woods without needing my headlamp. Just 30 mins....

Well, had a good one this morning, a refreshing forty-something minutes in the crisp morning.

Grog, I'm going to take your energy with me to the 50k. I need it!

Off to the airport in about a half hour. Hacking, coughing, and feeling generally miserable. But I'm going to do my best to pretend that I feel normal. Hoping for a good night's sleep tonight.

Have a great weekend, ladies!
