Today marks one week since the start of this illness, and four days since I last ran. This is really a battle of wills between my stubborn hippie brain, and all documented medical and scientific research.

I'm pretty sure I have a sinus infection, and I can cure it with my special blend of beer, sleep deprivation, football and hoagies!

Now, most normal people would've just gone to the doctor five days ago, gotten their antibiotics, and been back in action by Thursday.

Not me!

Why make it easy? If I have the opportunity to suffer and milk every last ounce of pity out of this thing, it would be wrong not to take it, right?
