Damn this cold!!!
Well it figures, two weeks before race day and I have a cold! Thursday night out of the blue whamo! I work at the school so I gues it was inevitable.
For a change, this year, I decided not to try running through it. I took off 3 days, drank gallons of water, ate lots of Vitamin C, zinc, and laid around on the couch. I’ve been taking this wellness formula which is suppose to help your immune system. I thought it was working, but the cold got the best of me.
Today I went out and did 3.5 miles. I only ran about one mile. My chest and throat weren’t feeling so hot.
My last successful long run was 11 miles. I’m just pissed because things were going so good, I’m so close to reaching my goal. If I have to crawl, by God, I’m going to do my half. I just hoped it could be faster than a crawl.
I don’t know what I should do run, walk, lay on the couch some more. Does anyone have any miracle cures out there? Or maybe just some good advice? Thanks for listening to me wine, again.

If your at 11 miles, you can take some time offm not too long but just enough to shake the cold. Drink a ton of fluids!!!!! good luck
