I've been waking up very stuffy the last few weeks and thought it must be from the furnace and dry air, so this week I installed a whole house humidifier onto the furnace thinking it would help. My fingers aren't falling apart from being so dry any more but for some reason I and the rest of the family are still waking up very stuffy every morning. After getting up and moving it seems to get better but it's really annoying.

Stomach was also a bit of an issue this morning so I ran 6 slow miles, took a water break and then 6 faster miles. Everything felt better while running the faster 6 so maybe that's the trick.

You have been putting in some serious mileage! I hear you about our similarities this morning...running slow outside didn't sound fun, but neither did the TM. But on the TM I could stop at any time and I am more motivated to run fast to get it over with!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

I have 5 weeks of vacation I have to use or loose by the end of the year so I've just been slummin' around and trying to take advantage of it by getting some miles in. I may have over done it though, I'm starting to wear down.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

I woke up stuffy today too, but I think I have a cold :/ Nice run this morning. You should actually go on vacation, oh wait, this is a vacation from traveling for you :)

Try Saline nasal spray. I have cronic problems like this. Wake up in the night stuffed, a little salt spray helps a ton.

I'll try the nasal spray, my wife told me to try the Neti pot but I have a German co-worker that I make fun of for using one.
