On being sick

Okay so as I head into day 14 with a cold I am reminded of my need for patience....one more day of coughing and feeling blocked...sigh...no workouts with Misty...no long runs with Katie...just sniffles.

Last night I ran with the new beginner group and spent most of my time coughing and trying not to let my bladder go while I was simultaneously running and coughing....perhaps I should have just attached Go Girl to my body as a spout for the night. Upon coming back I nursed myself with way too much of Katies cake (2 pieces) and then soaked in a hot bath..where I became inspired by reading an old copy of Runners World.

I pulled out 2 recipes from in and tonight will make one. I have a great vegetarian chili simmering now and some brown rice in the rice cooker.

Tomorrow I am supposed to start trail running with my wise friend Dan, luckily he hasn't run in a year, I hope not to pee myself while running with him....

Breathe, relax and let go, my mantra while I sick.........I have completely finished a bottle of wild oil of oregano....so much for it's promised miracle cure....Breathe, relax let go. I am not so good at being sick....off to shower and eat some chili
