Getting sick right before a race is an old trick of mine, so I definitely feel your pain. Rest up as much as you can and keep downing those fluids! I hope you feel better by race day! Good luck!! :) Oh no! Getting sick right before a race is an old trick of mine, so I definitely feel your pain. Rest up as much as you can and keep downing those fluids!

Now as long as my lungs hold up, I should be fine! I'm so bad with taking the time away from the job when sick, especially because I telecommute. The job is ALWAYS there... it's kind of a double-edged sword from the phrasing you used! :-) You’re so right, this is a nice rest for my shins just to make sure I’m really good and ready.

I'm so sorry you're feeling so badly. And I saw your tweet the other day - you MUST really take the sick time for yourself when you're sick. The job will always be there, especially because you telecommute. I hope you can recover by the weekend. If nothing else, this helps ensure the shins are really raring to go this weekend, right?

I find that lots of sleep helps...and I know it's a placebo, but I use Airborne. I believe it works, therefore it does. BUMMER!
