I haven't been sick for years

It was only recently that I bragged to a co-worker that I hadn't had so much as a head cold within the last couple of years. Guess this is why when things are good, we should keep our mouths shut.

I woke up this morning with a brutal sore throat, and if I have any signs of illness whatsoever, I stop the exercising immediately. Some people continue believing they can sweat the illness out their systems, and maybe they do, but for me it's quite the opposite. If I had run this morning for the 20-30 easy minutes that were scheduled, I would definitely wake up tomorrow, a lot worse off than today.
