Sorry for the lack of writing. I have been a bit under the weather the last couple days, and I feel it getting worse. I'm fighting the Fall Cold. It started in my sinuses. I have a raw throat, and I feel gross! Yup....getting sick. Typically I don't run when I am sick. I know heartier people out there run in any condition - I'm just not one of those people. By the way....how do those people do it?
Work is going well. The post-marathon season is a slower time for us, still we have people coming in for their fall/winter gear. I knowthis will sound like a sales person, but I am also a runner, so this is coming from a fellow runner.
If you live in colder climates make sure you are layering as you run outside. Pants or tights, a good base and a jacket...no cotton! Make sure you cover your head, and of course gloves of some sort. I being the weather wimp am a big fan of layering. I want to be as warm as possible out there. The layers mean you can adjust to the weather as you run.

I hope you do feel better Charlie!
I also am going to the seminar at PA's about the layering process to better understand it and explain it to customers as well as get into the habit of running in the cold.

There's so much sickness/colds on these blogs lately. I hope I don't catch anything :) Hope you feel better soon. Being ill sucks!!!
Charlie, I have a really terrific method for fighting sinus infections: Simply Saline. It's a spray that you stick in each nostril, hold down the lever for a second or two, then roll the liquid around the nasal cavity for a few seconds, finally blowing it out. I swear by this stuff, as it's kept me rhinovirus-free for a year and a half. There are a lot of saline sprays on the market. Not sure about which is best, but Simply Saline is the one I tried first and continue to purchase.
I usually got colds and sinusitis 2-3 times each year. I still get that cold-coming-on feeling, and when I feel that dull ache in the back of my throat or an excess of phlegm/mucus buildup in my nasal passages and throat, I use the Simply Saline every 4 hours. If I'm feeling like I want to burn out whatever it is lurking around my throat, I gargle with warm salt water. A day later, I'm fine.
Hope this helps. By the way, congrats on your promotion. Paul told me.
