Taking The Mask Off

By the description of this post, you know it's not going to be good.
I have a cold. I had one last week and as it was ending on Sunday, a new one started Monday. This one is worse. I can't remember the time a cold hit me so hard. I don't think I'm that wimpy.
I am supposed to be running the Turkey Trot with some great friends tomorrow. I have been looking forward to this and preparing for this for over a month. I am severely disappointed that I'm pretty sure I shouldn't run tomorrow. It is so frustrating to have this goal and have no control over accomplishing it. I did my part. Now I'm sick. I'm sure this seems trivial, but I wanted it SO bad. I just wanted to say I did it - for me. Of course this makes me extra emotional, and I'm sure I'll look back and say there will be other ones. I want this one.

I'm so sorry. I hope you feel better.

You know, I actually read an article that says a little exercise is helpful in getting over a could (that's why it's good to have s*x even when you don't feel like it when you have a cold!). Maybe instead of running you could just walk or job???

Take it easy. U don't want to kill urself and then be miserable for thanksgiving and the festivities. There will always be another run!

Okay, there's one next Saturday (Dec. 6th) in Copperton at 11:00am. I know the kids have dance stuff, but maybe we could fit it in? There are also 2 on New Year's Eve. Let me know...

I am so, so sorry. I feel your pain. So frustrating.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm in the SAME boat. Not a cold, though. But my sciatic nerve is giving me a rough time right now, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be forced to walk this one. Dangit!!!

That's the worst. I've had to bail on three 5K's due to illness. Good work being ready for it though.
