Advil Cold & Sinus

I know, I haven't had a new post in forever. It is only because I was so sick this week, I honestly thought I would never make it off the couch. It all started with me losing my voice on Monday, then the cold hit me on Tuesday. I have always relied on Advil Cold & Sinus for these once a year colds that I get, but this year, I relied a little too much on my drug of choice.

I took two pills at lunch and then two more when I left work around 4pm. Advil Cold & Sinus is great because it stops the nose from running and the eyes from watering. I was feeling pretty good Tuesday evening so I went ahead with the planned run with a friend of mine. BAD IDEA. We ran the 7 k's with no problem. The problem, however, came on Wednesday morning at 2am when I could not sleep due to the pounding pressure headache, the fever, the runny nose, and the watery eyes. That tricky little pill made me think I was all good and healthy...healthy enough to go running! I ended up not going to work Wednesday, but spending my day mustering up the energy to move from my bed to the sofa and vice versa. I think it was the worst day of my life. I have slowly been getting better, only because I stopped the Advil treatment and started listening to my body.

This week has been so unproductive. Yesterday I slept like a baby from 5pm-6am this morning. Advil Cold & Sinus, you will never fool me again! Never!
