15 Days until IM with Sinus and Cold issues

Its been one week since it began and I can't seem to overcome the cold/sinus issue I have. My snot is turning green and leaking into my chest a bit. This hasn't really affected training greatly but I'm starting to wonder if continued training is why I can't lick this thing. Today is a 6 hour workout so this afternoon and tonight will be an indicator of how I'm really feeling. I'll be run down a bit from the big day and I'll see if the infection gains a bigger edge...

On the positive side, this is probably the best time to get sick. Its the beginning of taper and perhaps my body defenses can be rejuvenated and as strong as possible on race day!

My Dysfunctional Family?

I arrived home from work yesterday to this conversation.

"Your 8 year old son was shaving his legs in the shower today" said my wife Heather.

"Dad, you do it and so does Mom and Nanny" said Travis.

"Ummmm, you might cut yourself so please don't do it again. And besides, I can't even get you to do that kids triathlon at the YMCA. Then I'd understand why you are shaving your legs" I said.

"But Dad, feel how smooth my legs are" said Travis.

While I'm not sure I gave the right answer, it seems to indicate he should stop that activity. Apparently my interesting tri habits are leaving an impact. Yikes.
