Run Ros Run by drakethecat

Woke up on Sunday morning with a little tickle in my throat  and was pretty sure I knew what that meant -- a cold on the way.     I felt a little miserable y'day. Not terrible, just under the weather with a  sore throat and some congestion.  But often these colds will stick around for weeks, and waking up this a.m. I couldn't have imagined suiting up to run 26.2m.

So I started on Emergen-C (powders with huge doses of Vitamin C),  sucking on Ricola, and today bought some zinc tablets called Zicam that are supposed to shorten the duration of a cold. They start off tasting like bubble gum and after you chew on them they taste kinda yucky. I think it's helping though -- fingers crossed.  Drinking lots of hot tea, too, and water. Anything to flush out the impurities.

I skipped a short run I had planned on Sunday, today was an SRD and we'll see how tomorrow goes. I'm not to worried about final taper miles for my "after-thon."

Current weather forecasts for Philly on Sunday look favorable, but evolving...
