And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

I ran 23 miles this morning to make up for lost time.

No, just kidding. I'm actually home again from work, still sick. But I am seeing a doctor later this morning.

let me guess... the doctor said get more rest, drink lots of fluids, take two aspirin and call me in the morning??

Any news? Are you dying? Is it contagious?

From Jeff on Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 11:12:00

Get better dude so you can keep pounding away the miles! I hope all is well with you, I've been quite remiss as of late keeping up with my favorite blogs!

From Jon on Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 12:04:13

Yeah, I'm dying and it's very contagious. And I get to spend yet another day at home (Tuesday). I'm just hoping to be healthy enough to slog thru the 10k on Saturday. And I'm in worse shape than I was for the 5k.

Sick again? Man this winter has not been kind to you. Get well soon and don't push it this weekend if you aren't feeling well.

From Jon on Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 13:46:40

I know, Jeff, it hasn't been kind at all. This new position at work I took last summer seems to be my running downfall.

From paul on Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 19:17:34

I will support your inability to run by not running either. Solidarity!

From Jon on Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 19:19:48

Thanks for your show of support, Paul. We must stick together thru this.

From James on Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 20:18:23

I died last year twice, every time I went to a new school.

From Predog on Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 13:00:25

that sucks that you are sick. I have decided that, from a running standpoint, I HATE winter in Logan. You always get sick and it's hard to get out. Good luck and don't push it too hard. Hope you get better soon.
