And I woke up this morning with swollen glands and a sore throat. SHIIIIIIITTTT. There are 6 people who I directly work with who have been sick in the past 2 weeks. I have been handwashing like crazy and staying away as much as possible. I knew this would happen. Knew it. I just hope this isn't a full blown lung-hacking snotfast 7 days from now.

Well dammit. Hopefully it comes on not at all or quickly so that its dwindling and you're feeling better by race day.

My suggestions are super odorless garlic pills and emergen-c. Lots of rest, tea with lemon, etc.

And last night I managed to slam my heel against the patio door and now have a giant bruise that hurts like a bitch. Can I just cry now??

That happened to me two weeks ago. Airborne three times a day and spicy ginger tazo tea w/honey three times a day. That staved it off for me.

Of course now I'm fucking sick as shit, but hey, it was after the race!
