Wow - in about an hour's period I went from feeling fine to sneezing non-stop, mucus dripping and the ears plugged up.  I am starting on the zinc, echinacea and Vitamin C to fight this off. Good thing it is a taper week.

Is it allergy? Hope it's short lived too. Enjoy the taper.

CRAP!!! Rest up sista! You will be fine. I have had two colds this winter that started all of a sudden like that. They left pretty fast, but I had to watch out for a sinus infection. Rest rest rest. Do you have enough books?

Oh- btw, on a scale of 1-10. Put Painters, Hobble Creek, Ogden and Riverton, actually any 1/2's you have run. I need some idea of what to gear up for ;) (I am posting this same question on many other runners blogs too)
