As I was getting dressed this morning to head out, I stopped to reconsider as my head and lungs were quite congested. I can't seem to quite get rid of this bug. I decided that I'd probably be better off skipping a day than trying to push through it again.

Good to always listen to the body. Man I hope you can shake this bug soon, you've really had a string of one thing after another the last while. Hopefully soon you get a break from the bugs and a good string of training.

It seems like your training has suffered from one setback or another for a long time. I was thinking about you running 6.2 miles at Spectrum this Saturday and was wondering when was the last time you ran that far. If my research was accurate, it was back on Nov. 17 when we went together to run with Tom in SF for his birthday. Well, if us driving together to a run started all this, then I hope our driving together to the run this weekend marks the end of it. I think the slightly warmer weather, lower elevation (more oxygen), running down beautiful Snow Canyon, and being around all those people older than us in St. George can't help but boost our spirits.

Thanks, Tom and Paul. Your encouragement and support is certainly appreciated. It's been a bit frustrating to have such nice weather and feel like I can't take advantage of it, but these setbacks are fairly minor and I expect that this is going to be a great year for me. Mentally, I feel fresh and ready to go, now I just have to wait a bit longer until my body is ready. I'm really looking forward to the trip down to St. George!
