ATTQOTD: I definitely get my flu shot!
I had influenza at the end 2013, picking it up from family at Christmas. (If you're sick, maybe stay home from Christmas Eve? Novel idea...) and it knocked me down for over a week. My mom was the only person that didn't get sick and coincidentally the only one that had her flu shot!
My 6 year old asked me if I had to get a shot when I gave birth to her and I said yes and now she doesn't want to have babies because she doesn't like shots. She says she is going to grow up to be a cat lady. LOL.

QOTD: Kind of a off topic type question for today, but a little related. Are you going to get the flu shot this year? Reason for or against it? The tie into running here is if it you get the flu, one would miss a good amount of training.
I'm keeping mine as NG because really I just want to finish. My super secret (put now very public) goal would be 4:59:59 or lower. We'll see come race day if I'm feeling like I can push at the end or not. If I can run my training pace?? But realistically...I just want to run this distance and if I have to settle into something comfortable that isn't my training pace...that's ok. I feel prepared.
I have a shoe question:
How much mileage do you leave on a pair of shoes you plan to wear for a race?

ATTQOTD: I got mine yesterday at work. I do not always get it, but when I do I normally get some sort of sinus cold right after. Odds are its just coincidence that happens but in my mind I have to blame something. So, I already have a sinus cold, so I figured why not. Plus I had the flu last year and that sucker is for the birds!
Anything 10-miler or down, wherever the shoes are at (usually 180-200). Half is a crapshoot. Fulls always get brand new shoes with 25-50 miles on them.
That's the kind of thing that would make me go through a whole big charade of pretending that I got one just to not get one to spite him.ATTQOTD: DH is a big believer in the flu shot, so I get one to make him stop nagging.
That one is alive and prevents the receiver to be in contact with people at risk. The one year the nurse insisted that my DDs get the nasal spray instead of the needle (which they prefer... go figure) was the one my MIL was terminal... Go tell her and the kids « no hugs, stay away » in those moments. Lesson learned, the hard way.Probably not. If I do I don't usually get the shot I get the nasal spray instead.
