Feeling noticeably better this morning--probably 80%, whereas the rest of the week has felt like 55%-60%. That is to say, my stomach stopped feeling like it was trying to digest broken glass.

I don't know what has been going on, but I think it must be some kind of GI virus. Jack started throwing up this morning, much the way I did on Monday, primarily bile. Maybe Heather will elude it.

So I've missed a couple of workouts this week and have had to content myself with slow recovery runs. But I think that's exactly what my body has needed to try to get over this little virus or whatever it is.

Get better soon.

I wanted to make sure you were alive and well and I new I could spy. Hope you feel better. To much slap and tickle probably.

Life happens. Don't worry about the missed workouts.

Maybe some chocolate flavored chili would help!

Glad to hear you are on the mend. Sorry you had to deal with that this week. Hopefully it goes through Jack's system quicker.

Yeah that chili flavored dark chocolate made my stomach hurt and I just read about you eating it. Where and why does one buy a product like that?

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. I think I'm starting to feel better. Not eating anything really helps :)

Clyde--you can find the chili pepper chocolate at this tiny little boutique market called Smith's Food and Drug. I think they have one of those in STG :)

While it sounds totally awful to me at the moment, it's really very good if you like dark chocolate.
