And my race is just a few days away. What's the remedy? Drink more beer?
There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.

I feel your pain. It is becoming a trend that I develop sinus infections, ear infections, or both days before a goal race. (At Chicago last year I topped it off with a sinus infection and double ear infection).
The good news is, I've set new PRs even with dealing with stupid germs. I hear the yeast in beer (home brew/micro brew) helps the immune system, and I am a believer. Either way, go kick some ass!!
2013 Goals: Run trails.

By way of background, when someone does something stupid my father asks, "Ahr you sickin za head?" The fact that you are running a marathon, something stupid, already demonstrates that you are sickin za head.
On the way to my first marathon stuck in traffic, I received a call from my father:
Me: Hello
Dad: Hi, Nader. Where are you going?
Me: Long Island.
Dad: Why?
Me: A race.
Dad: Oh, oh. How long?
Me: It’s a marathon.
Dad: Yes, yes, I know. But how long? 4 miles? 6 miles?
Me: 26
Dad: What-what-what? Ohmygod. Nader, listen. If you feel tired, don’t be afraid to stop. Don’t be a hero! You remember what happened in high school, when they had to call the ambulance?
Me: Yes, dad. Thanks.
Dad: Ok, here’s your mother…
Telling us you have a head cold provides no new information. Your efforts to pull Illene's heart strings, cleverly presented on a separate thread, are, ummm, suspect. She will decide the 8-ball with cold sobriety. See you on the red carpet!

That hardly seems fair.

What? So, Abe is on drugs and Ilene is on the wagon?
