This was a real good week for me.  It was the best week I've had since being sick.  I did a very light 20 minute progression run in the middle of a run because iI was feeling good that day and wanted to see what my limits are right now.  It felt very easy but I didn't want to push it.  I want to be patient.  It also gave me a lot of confidence that I havent lost much fitness.  I was always amazed when a friends of mine Nate Jenkins would be sick or miss a bit of training but come back so quickly like he missed nothing.  He always told me that because he has such a strong base it was fine, and he would be fine missing time here and there.  At the time I was so confused because for me if I take a few days I feel like im so out of shape.  Well now I realize what Nate was talking about.  Now that im almost 100% I feel as though I havent missed much when it comes to the longer stuff.  I did a workout this week that in the past I would have been crazy to even think about doing after struggling the last 8 weeks.  I will fill you in soon about that. 

I have put being sick and missing my indoor season behind me.  I have all my concentration and effort focused on the up coming season and running a fast 3ksc. 

I would just like to give a big shout out to everybody following me and my goal to a US Qualifier.  I really appreciate it.  Thanks all
