So, I think I figured out why I was feeling so "blah" last week. I'm pretty sure it was my body's way of preparing me for what was to come this week. It started with a fuzzy feeling in my head, then quickly progressed to a pretty nasty head cold. I was praying that it would stop there, but no, it has now traveled down into my chest. I am miserable. I hate being sick. So, running is out again this week. Starting my winter tri maintenance plan this week is out too. Ugh!
I'm hunkered down surrounded by this (I think I've gone through 2 boxes already!):
And drinking this:
While eating these: "Feeling sorry for myself healthy brownies" [HERE]
What? Doesn't eating brownies help with chest colds? :) It's interesting that when I originally posted the recipe for those brownies, it was January, and I had bronchitis, which started as a head cold! So, I am praying that I do not get bronchitis again!! I basically have 5 1/2weeks until the PF Chang's marathon and I do not want to be sidelined for weeks! I'm already freaking out about what I'm going to do training wise when this cold goes away!
P.S. Don't forget to enter my RoadID giveaway! The contest ends tomorrow!!!

Aimee - are you using a specific off season plan or just doing some maintenance?
Hope you feel better!
Hope you feel better, I just had a chest cold too, this time of year is so hard!
You clearly should be ordering in from PF Chang's. And if there's something better than brownies as medecine I don't want to know about it.
Eating brownies helps with anything! Hope you're feeling better soon!!
Sorry about feeling sick. That suckssssssssssssssss. Brownies, icecream, and every other serotonine inducing food is great mood booster, so GO for it. And feel better!
Ugh so sorry you're sick! I'm sure the brownies work wonders! Here's to a speedy recovery.
awwww get well soon! Big HUG!
AIMEE - way better now than a week from now. YOU'VE got it covered.

EAT BROWNIES!! ;)
Brownies will help. Keep eating them ;) Here's hoping you recover quickly!
brownies = penicilan....isn't that right?
Maybe order PF Changs with some extra hot peppers and just blow that stuff right out of you.
Get well soon....
You poor thing. I hope you feel better really soon and that those brownies help wonders.
Feel better !!
yep, brownies are the best medicine...so keep eating. Hope you feel better soon.
Feel beter soon and yes those brownies look awesome!
BOOOO! I'm pretty sure you're right about the brownies. Although, perhaps you should skip the tea and just go straight to Scotch? You know, or something... :)
feel better! Brownies sound awesome. Lots of things you can add to the brownies to make them even better....chocolate chips, caramel, ......
Oh no! I'm feeling a little under the weather myself. hope you feel better soon! Running while sick does not sound fun!
Well Im feeling quite exhausted this week! Hope it dosn't turn into anything!! Mucinex..I swear by it! Hope you feel better soon!
I hate being sick too. One thing I do notice is that I do recover much quicker since I have exercised regularly which has only be 18 months for me.
your bod knew what was up. get well, NO Worries at all you got the base already.
D
Take some time off and rest. In your condition you'll recover quickly. It does suck though. I was sick in Nov and it took a solid 3 weeks to clear up. Hope you feel better soon.
Oh no. I hope you feel better soon. Brownies are definitely the way to go!! I know they must taste great as your other recipes are fantastic!!
feel better!
So sorry you have the crud...but brownies...they do make everything better. :)
Bummer about the cold! Hope it goes away SOON and that the brownies cure it! See, the Brownie recovery method IS the best! haha! ;)
Boooooo to being sick! Get lots of rest and eat those brownies... I think brownies have magical healing powers :) Hope you feel better soon!!!
Feel better soon. I think the brownies are a great idea, I agree with the above comment that they have "magic healing powers".
Oh, Aimee, I'm so sorry you're sick! Brownies will absolutely help, it's a proven fact. Don't worry about your training, you're completely solid and can handle the marathon even with this small sidestep. Get better soon!
Hi Aimee,
Bummer about getting sick. Better to happen now than during the week of your marathon. Take care of yourself! Hugs:)
Oh, and will you e-mail me at jkaiser4 at fairview.org
I just need something from you:)
I have found that eating brownies helps with everything. Eating brownies has helped me get over a chest infection, a sinus cold…even a broken leg.
My buddy had the plague and after a few delicious brownies, he’s back and better than ever.
I hope you feel better sooner. I am just starting to get over my laryngitis.

Brownies most definitely DO help, Aimee!!
Hope you feel better soon!!!

LOL...on the brownies!
I'll have to try them with my next cold!
