Mr. Elephant Please get off my chest

I have had a chest cold for about 6 days now.  I feel so very crappy.  I have a wonderful hacking cough and it feels like a gigantic weight on my chest.  I tried to go for a walk with the dog in the cold (I mean like -40 with wind) and came home in tears as my lungs hurt so bad.

Good news, the elephant that is sitting on my lungs is looking like it is lightening up a bit and my cough is starting to be accompanied by phlegm which always means an end is coming for the cough.

I am hoping this week with the warmer weather (knock on wood) that I can get out for some runs.  I need to get moving.  My legs are itching for some hurt.
