So, after eating lots of this:
Veggie Tofu Pho (Pronounced Fuh. For the longest time I thought it was Fo, like no...yes, I'm lame). This stuff is so good and is the perfect warm, comfort food when you're sick. Yum!
And drinking a magic concoction of this:
This concoction rocks! My husband made me a mix of Delsym and Walgreen's version of Theraflu every night before bed. Let's just say that stuff works! It actually let me sleep instead of coughing up some disgusting green/brown stuff all night long. And, when you're sick, getting enough sleep is key to getting better.
I was able to do this:
The temperature was 64 degrees today! Yes, you heard that right. It was 64 degrees in Denver today on December 14th! What is with the weather this year? Don't get me wrong, I am LOVING it, but it's just weird for it to be in the mid 60s in the middle of December.
I have not been running for almost two weeks and I was slowly losing my mind. I really don't know how Beth at
SUAR is doing it....you amaze me Beth! Anyways, the weather was just too beautiful today not to take advantage of it. So, I put on some shorts and a t-shirt (in December!!) and went for a run around Wash Park. I was a little worried about my cough, but it was AWESOME! I felt so good and my legs felt even better. My body was feeling a little worn out before I got sick, so maybe I needed to get sick to give my body a break from marathon training. I ran and ran and ran and loved every minute of it. I didn't know how long I wanted to run, but I didn't care. I was outside running and it felt great. However, around the 4 1/2 mile mark, I started to feel it a little in my throat and started coughing a little bit. Uh-oh. I decided to stop at 5miles. Once I stopped, I coughed a little bit, but it never turned into a huge coughing fit! Hooray! So, I guess I'm "back at it," but I'm definitely going to take it slow!

This is for the guys. So, now that my husband is running more miles, he has started to realize that wearing cotton underwear on his runs is NOT a good idea. Let's just say he's getting some chaffing in some not so fun places. At first I thought, "You wear underwear under your running shorts?" because girls don't need to do that if there is a liner in the shorts. But, then I realized that he's got parts hanging around that I don't have...ha ha! I got him a pair of Under Armour's mesh underwear, which he likes. But, my question is, what do you guys wear on your runs? What brands/styles have you worn that you really like? Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated!! :)
