It started with the tell-tale scratchiness at the back of the throat, followed by overall achyness.\u00a0 After a mostly restless evening, I awoke Thursday morning in the full throes of a cold.\u00a0 Fortunately I was able to postpone my client for the day, opting to stay in bed and drink ginger tea.\u00a0 Friday was not much better; I did manage to make my way from the bed to the couch, but that was the extent of my activity.<\/p>\n
While my condition thankfully improved on Saturday (just in time for me to cater a party for 50), I was still lethargic and full of phlegm (I must have washed my hands a bazillion times that day).\u00a0 I toyed with going for a quick run on Sunday, but ended up taking a couple of naps.\u00a0 It’s now Tuesday, I haven’t run an inch since Royal Victoria, and I’m still feeling achy.<\/p>\n
