No running again today - not a very auspicious start to my running blog. But when I woke up this morning my sore throat was even worse than yesterday's. I looked online, and people seem to recommend running even if you have a sore throat, using the "above the neck" rule. Basically, if your sickness is above the neck - runny nose, cold, sore throat - you should still run. If it's below the neck, in your lungs or in your stomach, you shouldn't. But it didn't seem like a good idea to me to go run when I was feeling so terribly.
I was supposed to have brunch with my friend Emily today, so she came by with bagels and we went for a long walk down by the Potomac River. I got mine scooped out and with light cream cheese, to limit the damage. Then I spent the rest of the day sleeping and nursing my sore throat. As of now, it's still not feeling great, even after mimosas and matzoh ball soup. Hopefully it will feel better in the morning, because I hate it that I haven't run since Friday now.
Not much to say, other than that. We're still locking Coco up in the bathroom at night to make sure she doesn't get in fights with the other cats. She doesn't like it, but here's hoping it helps her get back to her old self while avoiding any more fur flying.
