Personal: I am a 52 yr. old single father of four children. I am retired after injuring my back in 2000. I had back surgery, stopped running, and gained about 80 pounds. Decided to take my health into my own hands....lost 100 pounds, went to Nepal and trekked for two months in the Himalayas...climbed almost 18,000 ft.....felt so proud of myself....began running again. I qualified for Boston in Oct. 2009. I have shifted my focus now on ultra-marathons with the hope to run my first this year.

| Every day I go to the nursing home were my mother stays......she is in the latter stages of Alzhiemers disease.....to feed her as she can no longer eat on her own. There is outbreaks of varies illnesses all the time and I never get sick, but yesterday there was a stomach flu going around with vomiting and diarhia and wouldn't you know it.....I caught it, but the timing is right I guess as its a scheduled day off from running. Hope I can get a longer run in tomorrow. |

| Outside run....condition were sunny skies, 26 F and winds out of the N @ 7 mph. Woke up this morning feeling very good after the stomach flu of yesterday, so I decided to get my long run in, if possible because the rest of the week doesn't look to be that nice. Decided to do what I can....no pressure! Felt pretty good, considering, and all I ate yesterday was 2 banannas, pineapple, and lentil soup for dinner......which is the only thing I kept down! No records broken on this run, but glad to have got it in. Same route as last week. Total time of 3 hours.....average pace of 8.22 minutes. |

| I thought I shook off this flu bug, but it came back to haunt me a bit....not like Sunday, but I'm feeling a bit sick, and very weak.....guess it would be a good idea to listen to my body and rest up today, although I always feel off not running or working out at the gym.....for some reason, I feel that taking a day off will jeaperdize my level of fitness, and I know thats not true. Anyways, I will plan to do an outside run tomorrow if weather permits.
