After breakfast yesterday (read: a glass of chocolate soy milk), I felt something at the back of my throat. It was a slight tingle yesterday and this morning, feels somewhat more scratchy. Please tell me I'm not falling ill again. I don't understand! Or maybe I do — I haven't really been eating fruits and veggies since the last time I fell ill and do remember feeling unusually cold yesterday. Ugh. I might have a bug or something.

I'll most likely take Airborne today and hope that it doesn't go into a full-blown cold/cough again. >_< Did I mention I haven't started training yet? =(

My marathon training began last week. LOL. I just found out today when I began planning my training. This is exactly what happened last year and the year before that. I am really hoping to follow the program somewhat closely this year, especially since I have not been in good health lately. >_<

So yah, I've already missed the first long run (6 miles), a day of cross-training, and 3 days 3-milers. Tomorrow, I need to run 7 miles! Eek. I don't think I'll be able to do that but I'm going to at least push for 2 miles… >_<

…And I'm already contemplating, and probably will, defer going to mass until the evening because there's a football friendly at noon. >_< England vs. Switzerland with Fabio Capello taking the helm for the first time!

I guess that's hypocritical of me since I'd roll my eyes when my li'l bro tells me that we have to go to a later Sunday mass because of his Laker game. Besides, I don't have a car today so… yah, that's it. I don't want to walk 1.5 blocks to church in case I relapse and fall ill again. It's cold out there. Yah, that's it. >_< I'll have the ashes imposed on my forehead later tonight…

Finally went to mass at noon then caught the 2nd half of the England match. 2-1 to the Three Lions.
