I feel less like a baby.

Maybe exercise is good for a cold. That was the essence of an article I read earlier this week in the New York Times. Some doctors said that they keep on exercising, despite their colds. And that a couple of studies showed that the exercise generally doesn't have any ill-effects, and that it may even help one cope with the cold. And I believe it. I've often picked myself up out of bed and gone out and walked when I had a stuffy nose. And it made breathing easier. I'm more reluctant to exercise if I have a sore throat and a respiratory cold. But if it's a cold pretty much confined to sneezing and a runny nose -- well, exercise helps me feel better. I feel less like a baby. --Jim Broede
