Roadblock
I read somewhere that it’s okay to run while you’re sick, as long as the problem isn’t in your chest.
The sore throat I woke up with on Friday has officially evolved into a chest cold. As much as I wanted to run 20 miles in this weather (snow-rain mix, 25-mph winds) I’m totally sidelined, with 6 weeks to go until the Las Vegas Marathon. I hate this. Now I’m just hyperdosing vitamin C and zinc and fluids and hoping it passes soon, before I get too far out of shape.
On the bright side, I got an early birthday present from my in-laws — a gift certificate to the homebrew supply store, which I think I’m going to invest in an additional glass carboy (for productive capacity while my other two are tied up with mead and imperial stout) and the store’s new Surly Furious clone kit.
<cough>Cheers!</cough>
PS…if YOU would like to get me a birthday present, please click on the link below and sponsor me for the Las Vegas Marathon on behalf of Chai Lifeline. No donation is too small (or two large) and even a $1 donation will make me feel like you’re running with me the whole way. Thanks!

It takes as much discipline to rest when you need it as it does to put in another few miles when you need them. Good luck.
