cold cocktail

The remedy for the obligatory pre-1/2 marathon cold? Hopefully this cocktail of herbs, water, and hot tea! And sleep! I'm actually not too worried and have this unfounded confidence that I'm going to feel fine to run this thing on Sunday. Or maybe I've run enough races in the past (this distance and longer) when I have also been under the weather that I'm just not letting it get to me. I could be singing another song tomorrow night...or maybe no song at all as my voice continues to fade. Don't need my voice to run anyway, right? As long as my lungs are clear and my energy is good, I'll be fine. Right?! RIGHT! (That's my optimism carrying me...)
