Countdown to 2011...Day Two

Yesterday went rather well, I think. I drank my water, worked out, ate on plan, and didn't even suffer in the process! :D Only catch? I was started to get sick, and I knew it. I couldn't stop sneezing and my sinuses were doing that nasty postnasal drip thingy that I hate so much. In hopes of staving off whatever was threatening, I implemented my usual immuno-boosting emergency plan: I used my neti pot, took therapeutic levels of vitamin C, drank that NASTY Wellness Formula stuff that usually helps, and gargled with salt water. 

This morning I woke up miserably sick and took my first afternoon off in two years. Amazing. Looks like I caught the virus Little Brother was down with last week...while he was staying with me over the holiday. Brilliant. My whole face hurts, I'm terribly congested, and I'm running a decent temperature. Grand. At least I'm not sneezing anymore, right? Right.

 So here I am, sitting at home working on the computer, drinking tea and eating tomato soup, and all I can think about is how much I DONT want to skip my run. Blah. If I weren't running fever, I would still go, I think, but the fever thing combined with strenuous exercise scares me. :(

No run today!! AGH!! I sincerely hope my fever breaks before tomorrow so that I can go back to work AND make up my missed run in the morning. Humbug. Upside, I'm not struggling at all to keep my calories reasonable on this completely sedentary day. Silver linings...
