Head Cold :(

Well....what better time to start blogging than when you're home from work with a massive head cold and bored out of your mind! I've been sick for a couple of days, but not too bad...just sniffles and sneezing. Last night, Jennifer and I went to see the Red Sox stomp on the Detroit Tigers 12-6. It was windy and chilly....the perfect scenario for the cold to take firm roots in both of us. In the hour drive back to the house we must have gone through a whole box of tissues. I slept pretty well and decided not to call in sick to work as Jennifer had. I had to leave school at lunchtime before my head exploded. After 3 hours on the couch watching mindless TV and Jennifer sleeping soundly upstairs, I decided that maybe if I went on my scheduled 5 mile run, it would help to clear out my head. It was a tough run but I finished in 38:15, a 7:39 pace. Not too bad for not being able to breath through my nose! It did actually help to break things up for a little while but now at 11pm, I'm completely blocked again.
We watched a movie tonight called The Mighty. It was a great little story that I would recommend for anyone to see. A couple of underdog, misfit kids become knights in shining armor. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119670/plotsummary
Well....I'm off to my bed and humidifier in hopes of a good night's sleep and a clearer head in the morning!
Cheers!
