I wish I had some super inspiring post for you today about all of the miles I’ve plowed through thus far and how 2011 is already off to a shining start. But…le sigh…this is not the case. Instead, the sickness that I thought I kicked during Christmas has only become worse and is turning out to be one of the worst colds I’ve had in years. Two solid days in bed, in and out of sleep, and one can get pretty loopy. So allow me to present to you, the top 10 things I’ve learned while being sick in bed:
- A diet of DayQuil and NyQuil (or the generic brand) can leave a girl hungry enough to eat her hand.
- Mario Lopez has his own reality show. Yes, it’s called “Mario Lopez: Saved By The Baby” and he wears just as much make-up on it as he does on Extra.
- It just may be possible to die by coughing, or at least I’ve felt like a lung may possibly find its way up my throat.
- When you become a “fiance,” it’s your responsibility to bring food to the sickee.
- Words With Friends is one of the best ways to pass your time, even if Aron and Tara completely kick your ass.
- Creeping blogs is another time killer. Until you literally fall asleep with your laptop open and sitting straight up.
- Apparently, American women hate the dude who is on the Bachelor this season. Who knew.
- Jillian Michaels is upping her game in hair and make-up department.
- Don’t wear fleece pants under a comforter if you have the “sweats.”
- Lola may be three pounds and do whatever you ask her to do, but that doesn’t mean she likes her Kleenex hat.
Happy running!

Day 8: No energy = no running
Day 9: No energy = no running
oh dear. i hope you feel better soon. but better to get the germs out of the way early in the training cycle, no? btw, whenever i am sick i always drink cold busters at jamba juice. i have no idea if they actually really help, but they sure do make me feel better. take care!
Aww feel better!
You asked me what I do: I am a teacher in a special ed district. I have middle school boys who are super aggressive. They throw tables and stuff. It is very physically and mentally draining! I have 4 assistants and 2 have gone to the hospital 🙁
oh no, feel better. Dayquil makes me loopy too! Hoping you are able to get back to running soon, rest up.
Get better fast! Being sick sucks!
Yuck, sorry you’re sick. I had a similar thing over the whole holiday break and couldn’t run. Finally am getting back into it. Just remember – it’ll get better. Hope it’s soon.
so sorry you are under the weather. feel well soon. take heart in the fact that despite you being totally weak and delirious with disease and exhaustion you are still able to be witty and entertaining on your blog. love lola’s kleenex hat. take care of yourself. xox
I guess I don’t feel as bad because I just recently came down with a cold, and I pretty much never get sick. I thought it was over, but seems like its still around. I’ve been taking nyquil, dayquil and coldeeze, haha And I just went to Miami for the Stanford Orange bowl football game, it is gorgeous there!
HAHA! Hysterical post! I had a similar sickness recently where I literally thought I was going to cough to death…not fun. I also had my first interaction w/ a Netti pot, which was kind of terrifying!! Luckily I took a sick day right before Christmas and that seemed to help! Keep up the great attitude and don’t worry, you will be back in no time 🙂
SwimmyKimmy! What is your blog URL?

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well!!! Hope you start to kick that cold soon. Rest (although hard), just Rest!! 🙂
