I officially HATE winter!!!I don't snow ski. I haven't played hockey since I was 15 and lived in Minnesota. My back hurts when I shovel. My nose runs from October through March. There is NOTHING I like about this season!!
OK, there IS Christmas, and Thanksgiving, and building snowmen. There is that whole "laying by a fire during a snowfall" thing too.
This winter season has been particularly bad on my running and health in general.
I've been WAY sicker than any winter season in memory. And this has of course resulted in my running SUCKING too. Which of course depresses me, which makes me eat more, which leads too... Yes, it's a damn snowball!!
Hear my frustration yet? Step closer if you need to. If misery loves company, have a seat in front of the fire and prop your feet my friend.
The only thing that will help get me out of this winter rut, I fear, is either a complete and FINAL break in this Ohio weather (prop your feet right over there Melisa), a quick trip to sunny Orlando (scoot over a tad Chris), or at the VERY least, an end to all these crazy colds I have gotten this season!!
But if I look closely, I might see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. If I squint, I swear I can see a trip to a North Carolina beach in a couple of weeks. And if I look closer, I may see the official first day of spring only about a month away!
All that is fine, but in the mean time, any suggestions for beating (no wait, not just beating. I'd really like to PUMMEL) the common cold??? Or maybe the not-so-common one?
Peace.... *cough, cough*

I can not help. I was also sick three times already this winter! (and fall!)
OH Kevin! A stiff drink? The prospect of running a marathon with Maddy and Melisa and myself in October? I'd make you cookies... And everyone knows that makes you feel better..
Chicken noodle soup? Nothing quite like it for a cold...
Nose is running? At least it is getting some exercise.
We're getting a break in the weather here! Iactually get to run outside! How "COOL" is that?
Vacation? I'm headed to Moab, Utah in 5 weeks. I am looking so forward to it! I getta both run and Jeep!
Hang in there, Kevin! All things come to he who waits (and actively seeks them out).
Hi Kevin - I am probably no help....I haven't been sick and the weather...well we won't talk about that. Come on down there is plenty of room.
Are you sure it is a cold and not perhaps an allergy thing? Do you feel any better when you are out of the house?
Otherwise you can try the ole standby's.... zinc lozenges, airbourne, lots of rest etc. I read somewhere that sickness originates in the ears...at the first sign of illness, put 3-4 drops of hydrogen peroxide in each ear for a few minutes. I have done this twice - I don't know if it works but I never developed anything. Besides, it can't hurt...
Anyway, hang in there :-) You will be back out there running soon.
Hey man... you'll get better soon, and be back on the roads before you know it... :)
Aw Kevin, I'm sorry! I promise spring will arrive and your cold will go away and the sun will shine on you. Hang in there!! :)
Sorry you are sick!!! I swear by airborne and lots of sleep.
Hope spring is just around the corner!
