Note to Self

Dear Self,
Surely you are kidding me with this sore throat? Some sort of practical joke? You do remember that we were just sick a few weeks ago, right? Remember: You screwed up two weeks of important training? Have you forgotten that the marathon is just ten short days away? Are you trying to KILL me??

Get with the program, Self. Now is not the time to get sick. If you could just take a rain check for 10-11-10, I promise that I will even take a sick day from work if need be.

Gah!!

(Editor's Note: On the bright side, better this week than next week, I guess. Also, a very good friend just pointed out that I ran my 20-miler at the tail end of a cold and had a great run. So who knows--maybe this is a recipe for success??)
