Yesterday I woke up with a stuffy/runny nose and just a slight scratch to my throat. Today it's definitely a head cold.
Yesterday was Halloween, which required much to do on my part, including walking around in the chilly weather with little kids for an extended period of time. (When it got really cold I took Noah and some of the younger kids home and Josh stayed out with the bigger kids).
Yesterday I ate candy. More than I probably should have.
Last night, after putting the kids to bed and getting started on the cleaning, packing, organizing that I have to accomplish before Thursday morning, I finally went to bed at 1:40am. I woke up this morning with four hours of sleep.
Yesterday was a total fail in "how to get ready for race day".
Today will be better.
Today I am staying home all day. And wearing sweats.
Today I am not eating any candy. (Not one piece of the 26 POUNDS that is sitting in a Hefty bag in the closet).
Today I am resting as much as possible.
Tonight I will go to bed nice and early.
This is the official start to my "kick this cold to the curb and get rested up" plan.
Wish me luck!

Good luck and praying you feel better!
Feel better soon! Good luck!
Sending you healing vibes girl. Way to tackle a bad day.
Feel better fast!
Good luck, Erin. Thinking of you. Rest is THE most important thing you can do now - not run, not stress, not plan. It's so close - do what you can to take care of you and be willing (maybe) to be flexible in your plans/goals.
Thinking of you! I always seem to get some sort of sick the week or two before my marathon. Well, I've only run 4...listen to me talk like I'm a pro or something...sheesh. Anyway, best wishes girl!
get better soon!
Good luck getting better!!! I am so sorry you are under the weather right before a big marathon! Rest, rest, rest (well rest as much as a mother of 12 can!).
Rest, Erin, rest! Early bedtime! Chicken soup! Emergen-C! Sending your immune system power vibes....
You have time for this cold to be well on it's way before race day! Last week both my baby and my husband had a cold. I was feeling run down and exhausted on friday and thought for sure i was doomed to have a cold by race day but i made myself rest and i hydrated like crazy and i was totally fine on race day! i am praying for you and sending healing thoughts your way!!! xxoo
Good luck! Perhaps take Zinc lozenges to help fight off the cold....four or five a day!
