i guess some peoples immune system is better than others....everyone around me can have it and I will not get it(and this was before I started getting the flu shot a couple years ago). Last time I had it was in middle school, and not sure that was the flu or me wanting to not go to school for a week.

2/10/2008 12:15:28 PM

Flu shots are for faggots.

Faggots.

2/10/2008 12:15:35 PM

i have a HORRIBLE immune system.
horrible.
(i once got a strain of strep that there was no medicine for because it's so weak people don't normally get sick from it.....i was in bed for a week)

but luckily i've never gotten the flu. lucky i guess.
and i don't want to.
ever.

you all are jinxing yourselves

2/10/2008 12:24:29 PM

if anybody posting here wishes to see how badass they are i'll come breathe on them to test your "theories."

2/10/2008 12:27:31 PM

^^I just consider myself lucky

2/10/2008 12:38:01 PM

I get sick every year, but I think I've only ever had the flu once.

2/10/2008 12:39:09 PM

I haven't been sick at all since I was about 5 years old. I had a headache one time in high school, but that was it. and I don't believe in "jinxing," I'll be perfectly fine, thank you.

I don't know what my immune system is like, but I don't take any kind of medicine, I don't drink/smoke, I eat normally and run about 100mpw. I don't consider it luck, i'm not sure what it is, but I do feel very fortunate and thankful.

2/10/2008 12:41:12 PM

Never had the shot, never got it.

2/10/2008 12:41:42 PM

100mpw? wow, I do about 45mpw no mater how cold it is outside!

"run about 100mpw"

you run 100 miles per week??!?!? I bet your knees are going to hate you when you are older

2/10/2008 12:46:33 PM

close to 15 miles a day wow

2/10/2008 12:48:23 PM

Yeah, some people can run well off of 50-80mpw, but i've always been more of a high mileage runner. Plus my main focus is the marathon rather than shorter stuff, so I suppose that's convenient.

My knees are doing okay, plus sometimes I run doubles on days I have workouts. Meaning 5 miles in the AM, 10 in the PM (warmup, intervals/tempo run, cooldown). I take care of myself, my knees will be fine. There are many many runners who average 100+ mpw in their younger years and never have knee problems, whether they're recreational or professional. it's all about managing your recovery, etc.

yeah, his knees are gonna be fucked up if he continues that....along with the hip socket

2/10/2008 12:49:10 PM

2/10/2008 12:58:40 PM

2/10/2008 1:09:45 PM

I make a point of consuming lots of germs, so that my immune system stays in good shape

2/10/2008 1:13:27 PM

RARILY RARILY RARILY


LIFE IS BUT A DREAM

2/10/2008 1:15:44 PM

2/10/2008 1:23:06 PM

2/10/2008 1:30:52 PM

ya rarily

2/10/2008 1:36:00 PM

I'm just coming back to life from having the flu. Good thing I guess is that I have lost 10 pounds and have not been able to smoke in 6 days. I'm thinking I should try and quit smoking since I have a good headstart. We will see how long that lasts.
