Running when sick?

So, i've got pink eye in both eyes, and i've had a sore throat for the past 4 or 5 days. i was worried it was strep or something else bad, so i went to the doctor today: pink eye confirmed and i received some antibiotic eye drops, but the throat and chest and congestion: just allergies. So i'm going to really start using the neti pot regularly, and i picked up some zyrtec. But other than that, and lots of liquids, i'm really not that sick. I don't feel 100% but all in all, i can head back to work tomorrow.

So, i decided that i needed to go for a run today. 2.3 miles for my couch to 5k week 2 run. When joe gets home we're going to do the second day of our 100 pushup challenge.

Food is the hardest thing for me. In general i eat pretty healthy: i gave up soda a long time ago and now only have one every once in a while. We eat whole wheat bread and pasta, brown rice, we avoid anything with HFCS. We try to get mostly organic produce and meats, and soon we'll be getting items from our farm share and going to the farmers markets more. My biggest problem is that i am lazy and even though i love to cook, never feel like i have time. And even though losing weight is not my priority now, i know i would actually lose weight if i could better control my eating. So, thats that.
