Everlasting Rhinovirus

Keri's Story:

Last week I was sick.  I feel ill the day after my birthday, but really, I could have blamed it on a hangover except for the stuffy nose.  

By Monday night I was hiiiiigh on decongestants.  

By Tuesday, stubbornness had set in, and I had decided I COULD continue training runs and teach yoga, plague be damned.  Tuesday night I realized I'd made a terrible mistake (fever had also set in), but was still stubborn enough (read: Stoopid) to try and run Wednesday morning.  

Wednesday is my teaching day, and everything was canceled after 4.  I took a quadruple dose of Nyquil, slept 11 hours, and skipped my Thursday run.  

I had to go to Stillman for extra teaching stuff Thursday morning, but I worked from home in the afternoon.  I also canceled yoga.  I took a double dose of Nyquil, and slept 10 hours.  

Friday I was able to go to work without everyone around me running in fear. 

Saturday I completed 7 miles of a planned 9 mile training run, and proceeded to feel like ass the rest of the day.  I took a single dose of Nyquil and slept 10 hours

Sunday, I rested!  

Today I feel better except for a slight cough.  

Robert's Story:

Last week I was sick.  I started feeling crappy on Tuesday, but used decongestants to get through Wednesday.  

Thursday and Friday I stayed home and slept all day.  Friday I drank a 1/2 gallon of orange juice.  

All three days I obediently ingested all of the drugs given to me by my wife.

By Saturday I was better.

Now, you tell me:

His 3-day illness versus my stubbornness which stretched a cold into a 7-day plague. Which one of us is smarter?  My money's on the hubs.
