I woke up feeling like someone drove over my body. My throat is swollen and I have a cough. I rarely ever catch a cold and it happens today. The day before my 10 km race and a week before my marathon. Help. Please. Help.

So right now I am trying to fend off this miserable cold before it gets even worse. I am drinking copious amounts of water and orange juice and popping Vitamin C pills. This has to work. I want to wear my running dress tomorrow!

And it’s Victoria Day long weekend. And there’s a crew replacing the roof on my apartment building today. Life is not fair… okay maybe I am whining a tad much. Seriously being sick (however minor) is not fun.

I had to cut my tutoring session short too. I wanted to conserve my energy. Besides I didn’t want to infect Maryam. I’ll spend the rest of the day taking it easy and putting my feet up. Knock on wood I make it to the start line full of health tomorrow.
