12 miles is 12 miles mate. Hope recovery is quick and painless . . . .

Thanks, Brent.

Fever broke, now if I can just ditch this gut ache I'll be running on all cylinders.

Now if I could find an old wife to fix it for me. I'd never dare insinuate my wife fit the bill.

Just got back from doctor's office. Put me on another four days antibiotic and told me not to run until I had finished the course (wife was there to hear so have to obey).

Thanks to Nick for PMing me and prodding me to get off my butt?

Due to a combination of illnesses and injuries (and other assorted distractions) I let myself get discouraged and quit exercising. As a result I put back on about 5 lbs and lost most of the conditioning I had built up.

I am taking it slowly, but have run about 8 miles total in the last 3 days (been running again for around 2 weeks) my first few runs were barely over a mile.

Will post back here to note my progress (and so Nick knows I haven't given up again).

Wt: 219 lbs

Good to hear mate . . .. . It can be tough to come back from flu/injury etc

Keep at it, but from what i understand its coming into the colder months there (brrrrrr) and i no me personally find it harder to get motivated to do anything let alone run in the cold . . .

Good luck champ

Running is great. I'd actually prefer to run when it's cold outside. It keeps you awake and alert that's for sure.

Running when it's cool or cold is MUCH better than when it's warm/hot.

- Cool/cold (to me) pretty much being anything 60°F or less
- 61°F-67°F starts to get "iffy" (depending on the humidity)
- over 67°F is almost always makes for a tough/tougher run (since many times...if it's Summer...there's lots of humidity)

It also depends on how far you're running as well. 2 miles in the heat is easier that 10 miles.

It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom ….”― Edgar Allan Poe
