When you spend several days, carrying around a small person who has a cold and that person has a runny nose and is coughing directly on your face and puts their hands in their mouth and then rubs them down the side of your face… how do you avoid getting that cold?
Because today I’m starting to feel twinges of the cold that Alex has had since last weekend. And I don’t want that cold because I’m supposed to run a race tomorrow morning.
Sigh…

Gotta love the “small people” . usually they are factories of cold and flu bugs and share with each other and then us. When mine were little I drank water and juice like a fish and loaded on vitamins and fruit and survived for the most part BUT only got sick right before a race or big business trip….
