I'm hoping to get a walk or run in later today (probably after my temple shift tonight), but might skip it.  I have been really sick the last two days and getting through work is about all I can handle.

Oh NO!!! I am sorry you are still sick. If it is the same thing our kids have had, it lasts about 3-4 day :) That's better than 7-10 ;D

We need to figure out how to stay healthy from March - November and be sick and injured Dec-Feb.

YUCK! I hope you get feeling better. This weather change seems to be dragging everyone down.

May the healing gods smile upon you!

Positive vibes your way!

The Venice Night Marathon looks awesome! I will have to make sure I do that next time I am in Italy!

Good luck on your healing!

Whenever I feel the 'dark cloud' coming on it affects my immune system too. I usually end up with Strep throat or bronchitis. I surely hope it's not the flu for you. But if you're still recovering overall, I'd expect it's going to be a bit of time before your body is all better. That plus stress. If you have any stress at work that just makes it harder. You're doing all the right things to get better. Thanks for the encouragement about St. George. I get really up tight. UVM was the funnest one because of you and Marion. I felt like a million bucks just for finishing and it was so cool to witness your sherpa-hood and Marion's crossing the finish. Good times. Thanks again for your kindness-- right back at you. Be well.
