Getting ill- But my run is tomorrow!

EEEEK!!

   I have my run tomorrow and I have been sneezing and blowing my nose like crazy! DH was supposed to run with me but his doctor recommended him not to because he pulled some muscles in his side. I might need some quick fix me uppers. Also, I have not gotten sick in two years so I am panicky! 

Today, I still have yet to head to the expo and pick up my bib and timing device.

Re: Getting ill- But my run is tomorrow!

  • This is exactly me! I think it's allergies. But yeah, I started feeling it on my last run on Thursday, then yesterday it was full blown runny nose, sneezing, coughing! Today seems a tad better but not by much. I've been taking Zyrtec since I started feeling it, so hopefully that and drinking tons of water will help clear it out before the race tomorrow. I have asthma too so chest congestion is a killer for me, I have to get that gunk out of there before tomorrow or its no racing for me. :(

  • About the only thing you can do it rest up as much as you can today and drink lots of fluids.
  • Try taking zinc in vitamin form.  I've been doing this every time I even think I'm coming down with a cold for the last 2 years and I havent had one since.  I used to get them at least twice a year.  I do also have bad allergies and have been using saline nasal spray for that and its been working well.
