I have a turkey trot 5k tomorrow. Normally I would not be doing a 5k at this point in my marathon training; but I'm a bit ahead of schedule, & this race is right across the street & comes with good food & plentiful door prizes. Thus I have spent the past couple of days filling my nasal passages full of Zicam in an effort to ward off a cold that has been going around and may already have invaded my system. I can't tell for sure, as I am full of Zicam; but my head doesn't feel good -- & although I have no performance goals for this race, I don't want to have to run 5k in freezing weather tomorrow & then stand out in the cold for two more hours with aches, chills, & a head full of snot.
I've always been willing to cut Lance Armstrong a lot of slack, if for no other reason than my respect for his work lobbying for cancer research. But what the hell?
