Day 195 of 365: Giving in..

I've had a nasty sore throat and clogged ears and nose since last Friday. I finally gave in and went to see the doctor. Bleh. Waited about 30 minutes and they did a rapid strep test. The doctor came in and said the test was negative and basically I've got a cold and there's nothing I can do. Booooooooo. He said I should be "turning a corner" in a couple of days or so. Doesn't he realize I have a half marathon in 2 1/2 weeks?? I need to run! I can't be sick any longer. Grf.
