Bad new I'm sick again! I'm feeling better now but have been running a fever since last Thursday. This is the fifth time I've been sick since Christmas. First I had the flu, then a bad cold with a fever, stomach bug then bronchitis and now a fever with some stomach issues.

I nee to get well. I may go back to the doctor again today (for the third time). I am usually never sick!

Anyone have any suggestions?

How bad is this going to hurt my marathon...assuming I get well long enought to actually run it?

Hopefully I'm back! I've been out sick for five days running a fever and with stomach issues. I've lost about 6-8 pounds but feel much better today.

Today I decided just to do a short easy run to see how it would go. Everything is good but I did feel a little run down. My HR started to rise on the last mile so I slowed down. Obviously I am dehydrated so I'm sure this is why the HR jump.

Hoping to be back in full swing by next week with one 17 mile run and everything else is down hill.

I'm hoping this bump in the road doesn't effect me too much for Boston. I'm starting to put together my racing plan and now hoping for good weather!

I'm on a streak...I've run two days in a row! Here I come Boston. :-)

I just ran at a little above comfort level on this run, still recovering from the illness. I am still under weight quite a bit at 153 when I started today and 151 when I finished. I need to be 156-158 when I start running. I'm planning to run a little longer tomorrow then a day or so of easy/short runs, then my last long run early next week.

(NO MORE SICKENESS BEFORE BOSTON!)

I've been studying and putting a stratagy together for Boston and will have my paces worked out soon with my goal. :-)

I feel like I'm getting back into the swing of running. My legs seemed a little stiff this morning but the effort and paces seemed fine. Only 25 miles this week, hopefully I can jump back up to some reasonable (but tapering) miles next week.

It was very windy this morning but the humidity and temp was down so it was actually pretty nice! I like 60 degrees and dry.
