Warmed up and then did the gully for time, I still haven't started eating wheat again so I still sucked with 43:18. It was a nice day, probably would've been under 40:00 if I was healthy.

Also found out I might have had a sinus infection for at least half my life. When I had a concussion in 5th grade, the MRI showed I had a sinus infection, and it was still there when I had an MRI for another concussion the summer before 9th grade. And apparently its probably still there, I didn't hear about this until today, but apparently when they saw it back then they didn't do anything about it because they were more concerned about my brain. So I guess this means ANOTHER doctors appointment. I'm really sick of going to the doctor. So who knows how long I've had this thing and I'm going to check if I still have it, my dad says if I get it taken care of I might stop having asthmatic problems so I guess its worth checking out. I really really hope February is the last month I have any more doctors appointments for a long time!

Hang in there Blake. If you're going to have a rough patch... January is a better time than later in the spring. Get healthy and you'll get rolling again.

Thanks Jake, its definitely been a terrible past month or two, I just need to be patient and work through it. I'm really determined to do whatever will help me run faster this season!

Blake,

Do you have any allergies to rice? Rice is another good source of carbs if you can't eat wheat.

I'm not allergic to rice, but for some reason I can't get myself to eat a bunch of them, I fill up after eating a small amount. But the doctor I went to today said that it would probably be best if I'm feeling like not eating wheat is giving me trouble, to just start eating it again, so hopefully that will solve things!
