The Norovirus

Runner or not, the norovirus can put you on your butt.  Who doesn't want a day full of puking and coming out the other end a well?  I was the lucky recipient of this about a month ago and even though I was in bed for only a day, I felt pretty run down for a few days afterward.  Here's an interesting read from National Geographic about the Norovirus.  I learned the bug is a lot more hardcore than I thought and it's crazy how contagious it is.  Heck, Mary's mom had it, gave it to Kate, the next day Mary got it and being the loyal husband I am, I slept by her side and woke up puking the next morning.  This baby will jack you up and the article makes it sound like it has an evil mind of its own.
