you're six times more likely to get sick this week

I've just been reading very good articles and watching short videos at www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chicagomarathon/ Good stuff. Marathoners tell stories. A cool video of the marathon in 2 minutes. An article that tells us our immune systems are shot, and that we're six times more likely to get sick this week because of it. Recommendations? Sleep well. Eat fruits and veggies. Wash your hands a lot. And one recommendation says to rest one day for every mile we ran. Think any of our bosses will buy it if we tell them we need the next month off? :)
