Feeling like death.... go for a run!

It's funny, back in the day if I was sick I would lay in bed or on the couch, eat saltines and whine if I had a cold. These days if I have a cold, I go for a run. Most people would think this is extremely stupid but it actually makes you feel better... for like 5 seconds. There is actually evidence to support that as long as it has not escalated to more than a head cold it's actually good to run. Sniffles, sneezing and coughing are totally cool. Plus snot rockets left all over your route is fun for everyone (sorry Boston).
Ever since I started training not much could derail me from a run. Stomach bug, cold or muscle pains have yet to stop me. Like the saying goes "after 5-6 miles you can't feel anything anyway!" Of course, there are times when it's not okay to run like pneumonia or bronchitis but since I've been running I've yet to really get sick. I also get the flu shot but I'm pretty sure that because of the running it has boosted my immune system. There is also a lot of evidence to support this theory as well. As you all know I don't go into scientific detail on my blog because that shit can get boring.
Maybe it's due to the healthy diet and exercise I've yet to get really sick but the amount of fun mucus that has been coming up has definitely had me question my new priorities. I used to think it's gross to spit in public but now when I'm on a run... It's like target practice. I make sure I don't hit anyone and try to get it in the road. Usually it just ends up on me:(. It feels like after about 2 miles my system is just expelling everything. I leak like a faucet. Snot and spit all over me just trucking along, I must look lovely. The things I've become okay with should really start to scare me.
With plenty of time to Paris, I'm definitely watching myself and listening to my body. Plus my half in a month, keeping fit but not taking risks is a must. 132 days until a Parisian adventure but hopefully I'll be all cleared up and snot/mucus free. Au revoir everyone!
