Starting 2008 Out...So-So
Well I'd like to say I started the year off with a bang, ran 10 miles and felt great and then rode my bike for another 20. But instead I woke up feeling a little under the weather. Mostly in the form of a very sore throat. And no, it's not from staying up all hours of the night partying in the new year (although I am proud to admit that, with the help of several naps throughout the day, I did make it to midnight last night!).
I'm blaming the sore throat on my dad who was sick over the holidays while we were visiting. He, however, is blaming it on the fact that I gave my body a taste of the good life in sunny SC and now that it's back in cold PA, it's protesting. The man makes a very good point.
Regardless, I don't have another other symptoms so lets hope it stays that way. I did still get out for my run this morning and then a short ride on the trainer after that. Other than the artic wind that is blowing in some snow for us over the next couple days, all went well.
And with that, I'm off. O's family always has a New Years Day celebration and so we are on our way to Greensburg. Hope everyone has a great day and a great start to 2008!

I woke up with a cold in the New Year as well. It must have been that wild cookie making we did last night... I, too, blame it on being around sick people over the holidays. I'm still trying to fight it--because if I admit it's there, I've given in. I've been taking Airborne for about a week and it seems to be helping... Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Beth! Sorry to hear that you're a little under the weather!
I liked yesterday's end-of-years round-up, you have a great perspective on everything that happened!
Feel better quickly!
