A blog for each day, talking about the running, coaching and of course weather that makes up our life. This is, at best, a second draft. Thanks for noticing any editing and bringing it to my attention ;)

Zinc Ahead
A pretty tough workout handled well. The body has been fatigued and a workout suppresses the immune system. Afterwards, I start sniffling and sneezing. Big bellows from lungs made itchy by dry indoor track air, “god bless you” replies a friendly face. On the ride home resolution is made holding true to a USATF recommendation for coaches. It is in the form of a red wrapper with a zinc lozenge inside. Sucking on zinc is an amazing hand up for the bodies ability to cope with stress; take after any hard workout or race if you feel even slightly run down. Also, take at anytime noticing a raspy throat, swollen glands or low grade fever.
