Cold-eeze, it's great for warding off viruses. My husband has had a killer cold and the stomach flu recently, I shared space and kissed him regularly during both and never got sick!
Ok forget 6am masters tomorrow. I will try to sleep as long as possible. And early to bed tonight. Darn that adorable little germ factory that roams around my house

She's like a little terrorist, just lurking & waiting to strike while you're at your most vulnerable!
Definitely skip your swim. You're in survival mode! Sleeping, hydrating, & good nutrition are your only jobs this week. You'll beat this.
Hopefully it's not too bad of a cold! I really do think zinc & hot liquids help. Most important -- try to get extra sleep.
If it makes you worry less, I'll just say I once ran a half marathon with strep & still managed a modest PR. You've put in your training & I think your body will be able to power through if you take it easy this week.

Good luck honey!
You're incredible! Talk about powering through! Thank you
We will see how this all goes. Hopefully I've caught it early enough. Darnit, though!!!
I swear by Zicam and as much sleep as possible. I am in the am I getting sick? phase right now and took Zicam yesterday and feel fine today. Fingers crossed for you!

In addition to ALL this advice, gargle with Listerine to kill any bad bacteria in your throat. If you can, try to gargle as "low" as you can in your throat before spitting it out.
Thanks - I am not feeling any WORSE, which I take as a good sign because usually when I have a cold I have the most discomfort first thing in the morning. And, I skipped masters and got 2 extra hours of sleep. I will try to nap with DD today, too.
I'm going to pick up some zicam and echinacea as soon as I get out of the house.
Would you guys suggest I run my scheduled 4 today? My plan calls for rest tomorrow and Friday, and then 2 on Saturday. I rested yesterday, too, so I feel like it's a lot of time to not run at all (huh)
I think I'll run the 4 tomorrow. I don't feel bad, honestly. If I didn't have a damn marathon in 5 days I'd be out there running. But, the potential to make it worse is what scares me.
Also, zoidberg - the garlic gives me BO. Lol, every time I am taking garlic I totally stink! It even says it's odorless! Ha, peeeew!
OMG. I can't believe I just popped in here. Do no running today, woman. Snuggle with that pumpkin. A few tomorrow, a couple on Saturday and you're good to go!
