Sick

Yesterday afternoon I started to feel a slight tickle in my throat. I had a cold/sinus issue in the beginning of September so I was hoping that I wouldn't have any more issues before the marathon. It started out the same way so I was worried. I had some chicken noodle soup for dinner to try and help the situation. When I got up this morning I was stuffed up and blowing nasty stuff out my nose. Not good. I dropped Makenna off at school and then took Kinley to preschool. Last week I ran around Chehalis and then on the track at the high school while she was there. I figured I'd give it a go since I really wanted to run today. I ended up running 9.35 miles. After that I went to Thorbecke's to do a few weights, stretch, and get a shower before Wal-Mart. I bought the Wal-Mart brand of the Air Borne stuff. You have to put a tablet in water and drink it. Not too bad but nasty just the same. I'll keep doing it. At this point I need to do whatever I can to not be sick for the marathon. Rain is in the forecast for Portland too for Saturday and Sunday. It looks like I'm in for an experience :)
